course over
EMU date

By Anatole Kaletsky and Michael Binyon

™ E , government ar>-
!*?red to be on a
collision course with Ger-
many apd other members
ot the European Commu¬
nity yesterday after the
Chancellor denounced
any attempt to set a fixed
date for monetary union
as ‘an inherent ab¬
surdity”.

John Major's attack
came only hours after a
declaration by Helmut
Kohl, the German chan¬
cellor, that Germany was
willing to proceed with the
next stage of European
Monetary Union on Janu¬
ary 1, 1994. Jacques

Delors, chairman of the
European Commission,
said in response that there
was now “broad conver¬
gence” on EMU among all
EC countries apart from
Britain.

Herr Kohl’s decision to
support a fixed date Tor the
next stage and M Delors'
attempt to underline Britain's
isolation came at a particu¬
larly embarrassing time for Mr
Major, who was preparing to

deliver his annual address on
monetary policy at the Man¬
sion House banquet last night.
Shortly before the Chancellor
spoke, the pound fell below its
exchange-rate mechanism
central parity of DM2.95,
partly as a result of scepticism
in tlie markets about the
government's attitude to full
monetary union.

The Chancellor's speech
dwelt at length on the advan¬
tages of membership of the
exchange-rate mechanism,
which Britain entered two
weeks ago. But it also sug¬
gested implacable opposition
to the kind of fixed timetable
for EMU. that all the other
members seem to have agreed.

Mr Major said there was
“an inherent absurdity in
arguing about the length or
date” of stage two in the three-
step progress towards full
monetary union. Stage two is
the point when all members
would irrevocably lock their
exchange rates and set up a
European central bank. In¬
stead, governments should
concentrate on practical steps
to encourage convergence of
economic performance and
encourage the voluntary use of
the European currency unit
(ecu), the Chancellor said.

Until yesterday, the Trea¬
sury and Foreign Office had
hoped that the Germans
would tacitly endorse this
approach, because the Ger¬
man Bundesbank had fre¬
quently expressed concern
about monetary union before
economic conditions were
appropriate. Britain also be¬
lieved that Spain and Den¬
mark might back its
scepticism about a rapid move
to stage two, but both are now
believed to have lined up with
the other EC members.

M Delors said yesterday
that a commitment to set a
date would “disarm all the
warnings and wipe out scep¬
ticism’'. He hoped the Rome
summit at the end of this
month would back Herr
Kohl’s proposal. Earlier, M
Delors had sought 1993 as the
entry year but was willing to
delay as long as a firm date
was fixed.

M Delors urged EC mem¬
bers to do their best to make
the present phase of EMU a
success. He added; “Experi¬
ence has shown that political
will, even if not enough to
achieve the integration of
economics, is nevertheless
indispcnsible in getting mem¬
ber states to commit them¬
selves to a result.”

Mr Major's speech came as
the public spending round
neared completion with Trea¬
sury sources predicting that
next year’s total could break
through the £200 billion bar¬
rier for the first time. For the
fourth successive year the suit
chamber will not be necessary
after the agreement on the
schools budget. Details will be
disclosed in the autumn state¬
ment next month.

Mr Major's words in the
City were seen by Conscr-
\ ative MPs last night as a
further signal (hat that the
general election will come
later rather than sooner. His
rejection of the idea of a six-
month economic honeymoon
triggered by ERM member¬
ship was seen as ruling out the
prospect of an election as early
as June next vear.

nnock

By Philip Websteri and DavidTytlfr .

THE growing political argu¬
ment over education erupted
in the Commons yesterday in
an altercation between Mar¬
garet Thatcher and Neil
Kinnock in which she called
the Labour leader a crypto-
communist

Mr Kinnock said that Mrs
Thatcher was a crank after she
repealed her support for a
system of educational vouch¬
ers which would enable par¬
ents to buy a state or private
education of their choice.

The clash came as John
MacGregor, the education sec¬
retary, announced that all
seven-year-olds will be given a
standard national reading
examination in a compulsory
test agreed by him and Mrs
Thatcher on Wednesday.
Announcing the new
slimmed-down testing in
mathematics, English and sci¬
ence, Mr MacGregor said that
the compulsory testing would
concentrate on the basic skills
of reading, writing, spelling
and arithmetic, with some
basic science. Teachers would
also be expected to judge their
pupils in the extra skills

demanded by the national
curriculum. Altera party-con¬
ference season which saw the
two party leaders place their
conflicting education policies
at the topof the agenda tor the
next election, the tensions
between them boiled over in
an exchange of insults rare
even by their standards.

Mr Kinnock laughed out
loud at the “crypto-com¬
munist” jibe, saying: “U is a

2S5*-'

ioag time since wc had quite
such a tantrum." -

As Conservative MPS on
the centre-right voiced
satisfaction last night at
confirmation that Mrs
Thatcher remains strongly In
favour of die vouchers idea,
others repeated misgivings
over the resurrection of a
proposal they tnought buried.
Her remark that the existing
city technology colleges, grant-
maintained schools and
money following the pupil
represented virtually a
voucher system was seen by
the right as an attempt to
make vouchers seem a natural
development of policy.

Labour leadership sources
were claiming outright success
in what they admitted had
been an attempt by Mr
Kinnock to highlight divisions
between Mrs Thatcher and Mr
MacGregor over vouchers.

Pilots attacked an Ml report

By Harvey Elliott, air correspondent

THE long-awaited report into noi to any failure of the engine fared video demonstrations.

the Kegworth air disaster was
published by the Department
ofTransport yesterday with 31
safety recommendations and
some stinging criticism of the
two pilots, their training and
the effectiveness of the plane’s
instruments.

Both of the British Midland
pilots, says the report “reacted
to the emergency before they
had any positive evidence of
which engine was operating
abnormally. Their incorrect
diagnosis of the problem
must, therefore, be attributed
to their too rapid reaction and

instrument system.

The CAA has fully accepted
25 of the official report's
recommendations and partly
accepts the remaining six.

In a separate report a team
of doctors and scientists called
for better passenger protection
in the event of a crash, mainly
through a new brace position
which should be demonstraed
before every flight.

The suggestion received a
mixed reaction from airlines
last night with some claiming
that such advice would alarm
passengers while others pre-

John Wolfe. British Midland's
group managing director, said
that video was the best way to
get the message across, while
British Airways said it already
showed a video demonstra¬
tion on planes fitted with
screens.

John Prescott, Labour’s
transport spokesman, said he
was toiling on Cedi Parkinson
the transport secretary to form
a commission to see whether
sufficient priority was given to
protecting passengers.

Arabs in
disarray
over US
criticism

From Christopher Walker

IN CAIRO '

DEEP divisions over the Gulf
conflict yesterday prevented
the 21-member Arab League
from reaching agreement at an
emergency session called in
Tunis, to respond to the
violence this month when 21
Palestinians were killed in
Israeli-annexed east Jeru¬
salem on the Temple Mount.

Hardline delegates, led by
the Palestine Liberation Org¬
anisation, left the meeting
after an 11-country bloc
comprising the six Gulf states,
Egypt, its new found ally
Syria, Lebanon, Djibouti and
Somalia,

succeeded in suppressing
condemnation of the United
States. Other countries which
walked out were Iraq, Yemen
and Sudan.

Delegation sources quoted
Farouk Kaddoumi, the head
of the PLO's political depart¬
ment, as saying contemp¬
tuously as he led the walkout:
“I congratulate you on your
friendship with America.”
The chairman, Mubarak Ali
al-Khater, the foreign minister
of Qatar, then suspended the
meeting and attempts were
later under way in a hotel to
try to find a compromise.

• Margaret Thatcher yes¬
terday gave tacit support to
Edward Heath on the eve of
his journey to Baghdad, where
he hopes to persuade Presi¬
dent Saddam Hussein to free
some 70 sick and elderly
British hostages on humani¬
tarian grounds. Mrs Thatcher
told a Labour questioner “As
far as Mr Heath is concerned
he will make his own best
judgements, and if he decides
to go to Iraq and visit that or
any other country, he would,
of course, be given the normal
courtesies.”

Britain base of international fiddle in violins

By Sarah J.aneCheckland
ART M ARRET CORRESPONDENT

HUNDREDS of violins attributed
falsely to master makers may be in
circulation as part of a British-based
iniemationa! racket, the music
community was warned yesterday.

Birmingham trading standards of¬
fice seized up lo 20 violins, violas and
cellos on October 4. that have been
declared fakes by experts.

Methods of duping the dealers and
ihe public have included “antiquing”
brand new instruments, and giving
factor-made instruments false labels,
claiming they were from the hand of
some Italian or French master.

The instruments seized include one
described on its accompanying ticket
as ' Italian, by Patonzi of Cremona.
1926“ and offered at £2,000 including
VAT. Experts say that they have

never heard of a Patonzi, and that the
true value should be £200.

Paul Gotland, a trading standards
officer, believes there are “hundreds
of these fakes in this country alone,
and that may be a conservative
estimate” He does not know the
extent of the problem abroad.

The racket is aimed at the cheaper
end of the fine instrument market
with prices in the range £2.000 to
£3,000. One of those found in the
recent raid had on its price label.
“French. JP Colin, 1897, £2,200",
while the inside label said “Lutherie
artistique. Jean Raphisle Colin, anno
1899”. Mr Galland said: “Our expert
found it was a German factory-made
instrument with a false label, worth
£200 to £300.”

His office has not yet brought any
prosecutions. It is hoping that people
who believe they may own a mis¬

described instrument will come for¬
ward with further information.“There
is a cell of people involved in Ming
and misdescribing in this country and
they may have been getting away with
it for years. Wc want to warn the
public," Mr Galland said.

The Times reported in May that
Graham Wells, Sotheby’s expert, was
initially fooled by fokeFedrazzini and
Pollastri violins entering the market,
until Mr Ted Stoliar, his colleague at
Phillips, called his attention to the
deception. Christie's went to the
police after selling a fake.

After making enquiries in the
Birmingham area, the trading stan¬
dards office took a number of
instruments on approval, sub¬
sequently moving in. “Four of us
went in, and then sent for further
people when we realised how many
had to be seized" said Mr Cktilarui

racket set up by the East
German Stasi (secret police} to
exploit currency union be¬
tween the two countries. De¬
tails of the fraud are still
coming to light as investi¬
gators struggle to sort out the 1
extent of the operation.

Four people, three of them
Stasi agents on special assign¬
ment, have been arrested so
for. Police believe that many
others must be involved and
that the Stasi has been exploit¬
ing a loophole in the currency
union treaty in order to build
up sufficient funds to continue
its undercover activities.

The fraud appears to have
started some months ago and
involved setting up bogus
companies to export non¬
existent East German goods to
the Soviet bloc. For the most
part the orders were fictitious,
although sometimes cut-price
goods manufactured in South
Korea, Singapore, Greece and
even Norway were sent to real
customers. None of the ex¬
ports was actually made in
East Germany.

The bogus companies
claimed “transferable rou¬
bles” for meeting the orders.
These were only available for
goods made in East Germany,
but the companies claimed on
all their exports, wherever
they were made, and the
special roubles were credited
to their account by the East
German Foreign Trade Bank.
Prior to currency union these
roubles could be exchanged
for 4.68 ostmarics each. After
currency union on July 1, the
exchange rate was DM 2.34,
with the West German gov¬
ernment responsible for the
- bank's dealings and therefore
} picking cp the bilL

The fraud came to light after
full .reunification on October
3, when the East German bank
came under scrutiny by bank¬
ers from the west Fraud
squad officers believe they are
on the track of many others
involved. However, they de¬
rided they had to start making
arrests in case the Stasi net¬
work found out that the
scheme had been discovered
and then helped its agents to
go into biding.

So for only DM 500 million
of fraud has been traced to the
four, although Wolfgang
Schombuig, state secretary in
Berlin's justice department,
believes the true figure is
nearer DM3 billion.

Desert Rats’ finances improve on move to

By Michael Evans
DEFENCE CORRESPONDENT

THE 9.500 men and women of the 7th
Armoured Brigade, the Desen Rats, will
be better off financially by being
deployed to Saudi Arabia, Tom King,
the defence secretary, said yesterday.

The defence ministry said they would
eat and sleep free of charge while serving
in Saudi Arabia.

Married service personnel would also
receive a SO per cent rebate on the
accommodation charge they paid for
their living quarters in Germany.

A complex financial package has been
worked out to ensure that none of the
service personnel on operational duty in

® ©T5

the Gulf receives less pay at the end of
each month. In a written parliamentary
answer, Mr King said that the majority
would receive more. .Anyone shown to
be receiving less would be compensated

None of the soldiers, airmen and
sailors will, however, be awarded “dan¬
ger money”. Mr King explained that the
basic pay remained the same wherever
soldiers were stationed This included
an “x-factor” of 10.5 per cent for men
and 9.5 per cent for women, which
recognised the disadvantages of service
life, such as the requirement to operate
in potentially dangerous conditions.

The 50 per cent rebate on accom¬
modation charges for married men and

women deployed with the 7th
Armoured Brigade from Germany
ranges from I6p to 68p a day. Those
who are single will have the whole
charge waived while in Saudi Arabia.

A small number of servicemen,
mainly warrant officers and majors,,
would have been worse off without the
50 per cent rebate.

One reason is that the local overseas
allowance, paid to all servicemen
abroad if living expenses are higher dan
in Britain, will be reduced for those
deployed to the Gulf living in Saudi
Arabia would be cheaper than in
Germany, the defence ministry said.

In addition to the rebate, married

service personnel will receive a daily
separation allowance of £2JJ4, irrespeo
live of rank, once they have been away
from home for more than 30 days.

This is the normal rate for any
overseas posting. It is expected that aU
those sent to Saudi Arabia and other,
para of the region will be on six month
tours of duty.

None of foe servicemen who took part
in the FaUdands conflict in 1982 was
paid extra money. Since then, a small
number of service personnel who have
been sent to the South Atlantic on
several short tours have been paid an
extra £3.16p a day for working unsocial
hours. Soktiera cm similar short toore in

Northern Ireland, who have-to work
long hours, also receive the additional
daily payment . .

The announcement on pay and
allowances was made as the Desert Rats
continued to deploy to Saudi Arabia at
the rate of six fli ght a. day from
Hambmg. Yesterday the British: Air¬
ways jumbo jet which has been char¬
tered by the defence ministry was used
for the first time;

ONE of Britain's most exclu¬
sive trade unions, the Associ¬
ation of First Division Civil
Servants, yesterday accused
Whitehall mandarins of
squandering talent in its
recruitment of high flying
“fast stream" graduates.

An alternative guide to
careers in the civil service,
published by the 10,500-
strong union, whose members
play a pivotal role in shaping
and implementing govern¬
ment policy, says that bias in
the corridors of power con¬
tinues to favour white, male,
Oxbridge students with arts
degrees.

It advises graduates who
believe money to be a main
motivating force in a career
not to consider a future with
the civil service. The union
grades cover top civil service
permanent secretaries for law¬
yers. economists, policy advi¬
sors and other strategic
planners.

Remuneration, the union
says, will never finance the
high life. “Compared to other
high Dyers, fast stream civil
servants do rather badly.”
Furthermore, the gap between
their salary and that of high
flying university contem¬
poraries gets wider as careers
progress.

The guide reminds honours
degree and other graduate
applicants that there is more
to life than money, “such as a
satisfying and stimulating
job", ll adds, however:
“Whilst the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office looks
good on the CV, it really does

not qualify you for much
else.”

Last year women comprised
47 per cent of applicants for
administration, management
and diplomatic service fast
stream jobs but only 35 per
cent of successful candidates.
Only one person from the 385
ethnic minority applicants
passed the selection
procedure.

The union guide finds little
evidence of oven discrimina¬
tion but says bias is towards
selection of those who are
perceived to “fit in". It asks:
“Will this bias inevitably con¬
tinue to favour those with a
preponderance of male hor¬
mones, white skin, Oxbridge
arts degrees and carrying
umbrellas?

“We hope not We feel that
the process is increasingly
geared towards those who are
good at passing selection sys¬
tems, the reasonable and
intelligent people, with the
emphasis on the ‘out-going yet
conformist team leader*.” The
guide adds: “A sizeable num¬
ber of able, intelligent people
are felling unnecessarily by the
wayside. The Civil Service
Commission must tackle this
problem.”

The union says: “Experi¬
ences vary from life in a
minister’s private office where
an individual will acquire
talents in the management of
thinly concealed chaos, to the
department of health, which
offers the 'opportunity to
work in Alexander Fleming
House, a 1960s constructivist
nightmare'.”

Price cuts
as petrol
war starts

ESSO, Britain’s biggest petrol
retailer, yesterday cut the cost
of a gallon of four-star by 4.5p
to 226.8p (49.9p a litre) and its
unleaded to 2!3.2p (46.9p).
Diesel remains unchanged.

The third price cut in a
month, it underlines the rapid
fell in petrol prices since the
fall on world markets, re¬
assured by relative calm in the
Gulf and plentiful suppli es .

Esso was left trailing in the
wake of an 8.6p price reduc¬
tion by Shell on Wednesday,
which sparked a round of cuts
among oil firms.

RELIEF is in sight for the
housing market in spite of a
2.9 percent fell in prices in the
third quarter of this year, the
Nationwide Anglia Building
Society said in a survey
published yesterday. • ‘

Although it expects pricesto
be down by between 8 and 10
per cent by the end of the year,
there should be a rise of at
least 5 per cent text year.
That view is supported by
Blade Horse Relocation, a
subsidiary of Lloyds bank,
which suggests that prices will
increase by between 5 and H).
per cent a year in the South in
1991 and 1992, and fay half
that amount in the North.

Nationwide Anglia argues
that Britain’s entry to the
European exchange-rate
mechanism, which has trig¬
gered a cut in interest rates,
should put a floor under house
prices. Any further cuts are
likriy to start a recovery in the
housing matte that would
start with more sates and be
followed by modest price
rises.

The effect of lower mort¬
gage rates is likdy to be
reinforced by the lower ratio
of earnings to house prices,
which is regarded as an ac¬
curate guide to the health of
the market The figure now
stands at an estimated 3.88
compared with a peak of 4.65
in the second quarter of last
year, according to Nationwide
Anglia. In the past, a figure
below four has indicated a
balance that allows people io
buy and sdL

At the end of last month
house prices were in real teems
18 to 19 per cent lower than a
year ago, bat the third quarter .
of this year “may have been
the bottom of the current
cyde”.

In the last quarter, only

Scotland, north and south¬
west showed price increases,
while there were fidls.of more
than 5 per cent in Yorkshire
and Hmii liw -nKfe, outer South¬
east, Greater London* Wales
and Northern Intend.

. Blade Horae Relocation is
optimistic about a recovery m'
the market in spite of diffi¬
culties in the economy. Fig¬
ures prepared b y CES Ltd, an
indep e n d ent-research .centre*
show that by the rakkfle of
nqtyear wages wilt have risen
sufficiently to make -housing
affordable again, and buyers
will return to the marteL

Emphasising the import¬
ance ofdemographic and so¬
cial factors. Black Horae says
that the number of those aged
between 20 and 30, the first-
time buyers group, peaked in
the late 1980s mid, together
with die fragmentation of
households through famil y
break-up and dnrorce, “re¬
sulted in an increased demand
for housing which has been
stifled while people waited for
their wages to catch up with
bouse prices”.

Although investment in
housing has been sen as a
form of fong-tenn- saving,
people’s expectations of ever-
rising horse prices and high
returns have been reduced, it
says, and that could limit
future booms. Thus the peak
of the next eyrie, probably
around 1995-6, will be much
Jess extreme.

The report also predicts that
house prices in the regions
outside London and the
southeast will not teg as fer
behind as they did last time.
The North-South gap should
be much less than the previous
peak, when a semi-detached
house in the North could be
bought for less dm" half the
price of one in London. '

should be done to control add
house parties. He is oonad-
ering making it an offence to
allow premises to be used for
their parties if there was
excessive noise, and of taking
action against the suppliers of
sound equipment.

The maximum fine fin-
domestic noise will be main¬

tained at £2fi00 but fines for
excessive industrial noise wifl
increase to £ 20,000. The only :
concrete proposal adopted by
the government is a man-

THE plight of many of Scotland's
most spectacular and romantic
castles and country houses is high¬
lighted in a new illustrated survey by
Save Britain’s Heritage (SAVE),
described as the most sensational
collection of decaying buildings ever
published.

From the Borders to the Hebrides
hundreds of country houses have
been neglected and abandoned to the
mercy of the dements, the report
says. Some were deserted after
wartime requisitioning, abandoned

after serious fire damage or crudely
adapted for agricultural storage.
Ottos have fallen prey to vandalism
«nd systematic luting , and many
have been written off as lost causes.

“Yet a large number could stiB be
saved if the right forces could be
. motivated,” the report says. “For a
country fiercely proud of its heritage
it is grim knowledge that so many of
its historic houses are in danger.”

The situation is in marked contrast
with England and Wales, where it is ■
now relatively rare to find an
important country house abandoned

to decay, the report says. In Scotland,
economic regene r atio n a n d increased
prosperi ty , together with a growing
appreciation of historic buildings as.
potential assets, offer renewed hope,
but the increase in the number-of
bouses which have been rescued is
overshadowed by starker realities.

Hie most immediate threat is that
most of foe houses, dissociated from
their original function, are empty or
under used. A foctor which contrib¬
uted to many a rapid dectine was the
policy of deliberately removing the
roof which, under Scottish law until

the middle of tins century, was
necessary in order to avoid having to
continue to pay rates. But man, as
weD as nature, is also to blame. “All
too often the major ingredient in a
buikfing’s demise lies in the attitude
of the owner.”

'The report says that the state of
many of the 140 buildings illustrated
in the survey is scandalous, adding
that damage infli cted upon them is,

THE 31 safety recommenda¬

fell into three main areas.

Eleven of the recom¬
mendations relate to detailed
technical monitoring and
improvement in the manu¬
facture and testing of engines.
Eight more call for improved
training methods ranging
from better advice on inter¬
preting vibration instruments
to guidance for air traffic
controllers on using a dis¬
creet radio frequency when
an aircraft is in an emergency.

The rest of the report
concentrates on new designs
such as television monitors

sign, stronger cabin floors

recommendations and partly

diagnosis of the problem
must therefore be attributed
to their too rapid reaction
and not to any failure of the
engine instrument system to
display the
indications.”

The report, which contains
31 safety recommendations,
says that the cause, of the
accident was that the crew
shut down the No 2 engine
after a fan blade had fractured
in the No 1 engine.-They
incorrectly responded to the

Captain Hunt who is still
confined to a wheelchair as a
result of his injuries, flew the
aircraft manually towards

he tried to apply additional

it failed and it was too late to
start the stiB fully operational

CASUALTIES in tire Keg-
worth aircraft crash could
have been reduced if the
passengers had used a more

effective position to brace
themselves for the impact, a
report on the causes of
injuries sustained in the
disaster says.

Instructions on what pos¬
ition to take in a crash are
inadequate in many cases, ft
says. More detailed instruc¬
tion should be given, pos¬
sibly by video, and should
take precedence over the
usual lifebelt demonstration.

British Midland, owners
of the crash jet, said last
night that the bracing pos¬
ition recommended in the
report was being imple¬
mented immediately. John
Wolfe, group managing
director, said: “New instruc¬
tion cards are being pro - ,
duced and should be in place
by mid-November.”

The report was produced
by a study group consisting
of researchers from Notting¬
ham university medica l
school doctors from the four
hospitals where the survi¬
vors were treated and H.W.
Structures, the Midlands en¬
gineering consultants.

The report, commissioned

ber of other safety recom¬
mendations which would

which passenger aircraft are

head should rest against the

.Tire mystery of how the
pilots came to shut down the
wrong engine is still not fully
explained in the report. “It
has not been possible to
determine why... (the co¬
pilot)... made the mistake of
beheving that the feult lay
with the No 2 engine,” the
- report says. “When asked
which engine was at fault he
half formed the word “left”
before saying “right”-“Hts
hesitation may have arisen
from genuine difficulty in
interpreting the readings on
the engine instruments or it
may have been that be ob¬
served the instruments only
during the six-second period
of relative stability between
the second and third surges.”

Later Captain Hunt said be
thought the smoke in the
cockpit indicated that the
problem must be in the right-
hand engine because that was
where air from the air-
conditioning unit came.

“Whilst this reasoning
might have applied feirly well
to other aircraft he had flown
it Was flawed because some of
tire conditioning air- for the
passenger cabin of the Boeing
737-400 comes from the No 1
engine. It seems unlikely that
in tire short time before he
took action his thoughts
about the air-conditioning
system could have had much
influence on his decision.

Tt is considered to be
more likely that, believing the
first officer had seen positive
indications on the engine
instruments, he provisionally
accepted the first officer's
assessment”

The report says that tests
showed that the No 1 engine
vibration indicator was at the
lop of its scale within two
seconds of the onset of vibra¬
tion and remained there for
about three minutes until
that engine was throttled
back for descent “Yet it
appears that the reading on
this indicator was not noticed
by either pilot and this in¬
dicates a weakness in training
philosophy.”

Fourth game heads for draw
after Kasparov fightback

By Raymond Keene, chess corrkpondent

THE fourth game of the
World Chess Championship
in New York has been ad¬
journed after 40 moves in a
position where Kasparov,
playing white; can force a
draw with Karpov by per¬
petual check. Indeed, the most
fikdy outcome is that they will
to a draw -without

-resuming.

The route to the drawn
conclusion was, h owev er,
strewn with tire most extraor¬
dinary complications and at¬
one time Kasparov; freed with
a massive material inferiority,
was dinging on for dear file.

Until the 22nd move play in
game 4 followed theoretical
precedent Even though Kar¬
pov thought for a record S3
min utes over ins 19th move
the position was still
recognisable as chess book
theory. Therevelation was
Karpov's 22nd move, a bril¬
liant retreat' of his bishop
instead of recapturing a knight
which had -jiist been taken,
Kasparov reacted with equal
vigour. The world champion
sacrified every pawn he had
on the queen-side and m the
centre intbeusforests of trying’

to blast a path directly through
to Karpov's king.

The most spectacular fea¬
ture was that for a full nine
moves Kasparov left a rook in
the very vitals of the black
camp, but positioned in such a
way that it would have been
extremely perilous for black u>
snatch, at the bait. When
Karpov did finally capture
this rook with his bishop on
the 32nd move the floodgates
were opened for white's few
remaining forces to come to
grips with the black king.

On tire. 39th move with his
dock flag hanging, Karpov
finall y cracked mid made one

defensive move too many.

Kasparov seized his chance
and proceeded to deliver
checks with his knight which
will rotate with clock-like
precision from the g6 to e7
squares, creating a vice from
which the black king can never
escape. Kasparov sealed his
41st move which will certainly
be 41 Ng6+.

Crews express fears about
electronic display panels

CONCERN about the design of the new
electronic instrument display panels has
been expressed by many pilots, the report
discloses (Harvey Elliott writes). After the
crash, accident investigators questioned 120
pilots who had used the new display panels
(EIS) to try to establish whether they
preferred them to the older mechanical
needle and dial system. Overall, 64 per cent
said that they preferred the older in¬
struments. This rose to 74 per cent among
British Midland pilots. Forty-three pilots
wrote additional comments on the ques¬
tionnaire criticising the new liquid crystal
displays as too small

Captain Kevin Hunt said, after the
accident, that he rarely included engine
vibration gauges in his instrument scan
■ because he believed them to be unreliable.
Tire report says that it is conjecture as to
whether ihe pdots would have taken notice
of a mechanical pointer “but there can be
little doubt it would have been easier to see”.

“Because of a natural resistance to change,
the fitness of new equipment for its purpose
may not be judged on pilot preference alone,
although this must be an important factor,”
the report says. “With these reservations the
feast favourable interpretation of the results

was that the EIS displayed engine parameters
clearly but its ability to attract attention to
rapidly changing readings was less satisfac¬
tory. The latter aspect was, however, less im¬
portant in the case of this accident because
the crew were alerted to abnormal operation
by other signs and had time, or should have
had, to study engine instrument readings.”

The report also underlines the need for
improved training techniques to ensure that
pilots are able to practise both how to inter¬
pret new instruments and how to cope with
unusual circumstances. Each pilot had only
one day's training on the use of the new
instruments because no folly-equipped simu¬
lator was then available. “The result of this
pattern of training was that the first tune that
a pilot was likely to see abnormal indications
on the EIS was in flight in an aircraft with a
feiling engine,” the report says.

In the pilots* general 737 simulator
training virtually all engine problems which
are created artificially result in an engine
shutdown. “Since this crew would have been
under both practical and psychological
pressure to come up wih a programme of
action, it cannot be regarded as surprising
that the actions they embarked upon were
those that they had practised.”

Multiple

rapist

Police in Warwickshire,
Buckinghamshire and Berk¬
shire have joined forces in a
hunt for a multiple rapist
(Craig Sewn writes).

Detectives said yesterday
that the victims were pro¬
fessional women living alone
who were raped in their homes
in the early hours. The first
known attack was in Milton
Keynes in June last year. The
second was in Reading in
January and a third in Leam¬
ington Spa. Police believe that
other women might not have
reported attacks.

Detectives are certain that
the same man carried out the
rapes. They suspect that he
watches his intended victims
and attacks when they are
alone. The rapist is described
as black or of mixed race, aged
between 20 and 30. with a
spotty complexion and a deep
voice.

Book price ruling

The publishers of the Booker
Prize-winning novel and the
other short-listed books was
granted a court order yester¬
day banning their sale at dis¬
count prices in Scotland. The
publishers took the Pentos
Retailing Group to the Court
of Session in Edinburgh. The
move prevents Pentos selling
the novels at less than the
prices set under the net book
agreement and follows similar
court action in England.

Pekinese theft

Malcolm Watson, a dog
breeder and international
show judge, was found guilty
yesterday of stealing a £1.000
prize Pekinese puppy from the
garden of its owner. The theft
came to light four years later'
after he sold it to another
breeder under a false name,
Chelmsford Crown Court was
told. Watson, aged 37. of
Ben fleet, Essex, who denied
stealing the animal, was fined
£ 200 .

Robert Coombs, aged 43. a
council water station fitter, of
Bournemouth, who fell and
injured bis back after standing
on a sleeping cat in long grass
in 1985, was awarded £59.054
damages in the High Court
yesterday. The judge found
Christchurch borough council
to blame as Mr Coombs had
warned it about the grass.

Safeway was fined a total of
£4,500 by Edinburgh Sheriff
Court yesterday for over¬
charging at three stores in the
city. Safeway admitted three
separate charges of overcharg¬
ing at branches in August last
year. Not guilty pleas to
offences at two other branches
were accepted.

satis&ctioa-
For once the fard-feced men of
the Treasury felt that they were
labouring under an impossible
h a n d ic ap. When foe outcome is-
disclosed in November it may
wefl be that for the first time the-
nation’s spending luQ wfllexceed
£200 billion next year. Norman
Lamom,. Treasury - chief seo^
retary. had a naoadnal pbnnmg;

than expected inflation rate on
iuda-iinksdsodals^^
fits (£15 bflbon), which the'
government isxommxtted to pay
from next April, and other do-
mand-led programmes.

added £2 billion.'

- Before a single plea was made
to him by a spending minister.

the headline figure in front of the
chief secretary was about £200.5
Ullion. At hand was the contin¬
gency reserve that the Treasury
always writes into the planning
total, For 1991-2 that figure is £6
billion. How much of that Mr
Lament decides to use will
determine how for above, or
just below, the OX)
m ngure he god In last
year’s white paper, he retained a
contingency reserve of £3 billion
for foe coining year.

The settlement by John Mac¬
Gregor, the education secretary,
of his Budget late on Wednesday
left the star chamber, which
would lave been headed by Sr
Geoffrey Howe, without' any
work .todo for foe fourth year is
succession.

The prime minister’s unprece¬
dented intervention with a
strongly worded injunction lb her
imnstets just before the Tory
conference seems to have , con¬
centrated minds. Her warning

that they could expect little or
nothing by going over Mr La¬
ment 3 s head did foe trick.

- In trying to claw back some lost
ground, the Treasury targeted
defence and training as two areas
for cuts. Mr King’s apparent
success, helped by President
Saddam Hussein, in restricting
the so-called peace dividend to a
figure well below the Treasury's
objective of £2 billion clearly puts
him among the whiners.

Mr Clarke has Robin Cook, his
Labour shadow, to thank for
patting him in the winner’s en¬
closure. As Mr Cook's leak from a
health department negotiating
paper showed last wed:, foe
health secretary appeals to have
won more than £2 billion of his
bid for £2.7 trillion extra, foe
third year in succession that he
has broken the £2 billion barrier.
His victory was crowned when
Margaret Thatcher then ap¬
pointed him to the star chamber
where he would have sat in

judgment on his colleagues.

Mr Patten's windfall was guar¬
anteed last spring when Tory
pony jitters over the poll tax
reached a critical level. It was no
surprise when Mr Patten told the
Commons in July that he had
secured foe biggest ever cash
increase in local government
spending; and no surprise either
when he settled his housing,
green and inner city budget with
Mr Lamont quite speedily.

The autumn statement nil!
disclose which other ministers
deserve foe plaudits.

No one has fought harder, and
in the end more publicly, than Mr
MacGregor. As many as seven
face-to-face encounters with Mr
Lamont have ended with a for
from dearcut outcome. Specula¬
tion that Mr MacGregor has won
most of what he was seeking are
not borne out by a close reading
of the history of his negotiation.

For some time the education
department was happy to lei the

world believe that Mr MacGregor
was pursuing an 18.3 per cent
increase in his£6.8 billion budget
planned for next year. That
comes out at a £1.3 billion
increase. But last weekend
expectations were gently lowered
to nearer £1 billion.

This week, as Mr MacGregor’s
struggle with Mr Lamont came to
a head there were further down¬
ward revisions. He appears to
have secured between £500 mil¬
lion and £700 million extra, a rise
of 7 percent to 10 per cent. It may
not be far from the figure he
wanted.

As for the remainder, Tony
Newion, the social security sec¬
retary and guardian of a planned
£562. billion purse, Whitehall's
biggest, will probably have some
sweeteners to announce but looks
likely yet again to be forced to
swallow a freeze in child benefit.

Michael Howard, the employ¬
ment secretary, inherited a weak
band from Sir Norman Fowler.

his predecessor. The Treasury
targeted the training budget for
more cuts, arguing that employ¬
ers should bear a greater share of
the vocational burden. His settle¬

A GOVERNMENT minister
yesterday criticised foe report
by the British Medical Associ¬
ation on the safety of pesti¬

authors were not medically
qualified (Peter Mulligan
writes). •

David Maclean, the junior
agriculture minister, tokf MPs
that the committee members,
whose report had expressed
doubts on assurances about
pesticide safety, were not all
academic experts.

He said that some were
from Friends of the Earth, the
environmental presure group,
and another was “one of Mr
Ron Todd's men”.

During question time ex¬
changes, Mr Maclean asked
why some of the “few sci¬
entists” involved had dissoci¬
ated themselves fromjparts of

committee.

He also expressed surprise
that the BMA had called for
more information and less

Had no one told them the

He said: “If there is any

HOUSE OF LORDS

Handicap question divides peers
in debate on late abortions

By Sheila Gunn, political reporter

THE House of Lords was
shaiply divided last night
over whether to allow late
abortions when a baby is
found . to be severely
handicapped.

During an heated debate an
the ethical issues of abortion
the peers approved the Com¬
mons amendment, cutting the
time limit for abortions from
28 weeks to 24 weeks. But they
disputed the grounds for
allowing terminations up to
the time of birth.

The Archbishop ofYork,Dr
John Habgood, called on peers
to support the amendment to
prevent late abortions where a
baby is found to be severely
handicapped.

Deliberately to destroy a
viable albeit handicapped hu¬
man befog in order to avoid
distress to the mother de¬
valued such life in an un¬
acceptable way. There should
be a moral distinction be¬
tween abortion to protect foe
life of the mother and abortion

severe handicap of the baby.

Opening foe debate on foe

ment to be supported

bryology bill. Lord Mackay of
CTashfern, foe Lord Chan¬
cellor, said the Commons
amendment cut the time limit
for abortion from 28 to 24
weeks. The Commons de¬
cision reflects foe bill in¬
troduced by Lord Houghton
ofSowerby which, in torn, was
based on foe Lords select
committee.

In abortions after 24 weeks
a statement of foe nature of
foe clinical condition or
handicap would be required.
Kenneth Clarke, foe health
secretary, wanted to make
such information public while
protecting confidentiality.

Only 24 abortions were
performed last year after 24
weeks of pregnancy. In 23
cases there had been foe risk of
serious foetal handicap and
none of them had been after
27 weeks. No decision to carry
out a late abortion was ever
taken lightly.

The Conservative peer
Lady Cox said Lord Houghton
had warned her that wmen’s
organisations would tear her
limb from limb for attempting
to restrict late abortions.

“I say to Lord Houghton
that our concern is to try to
prevent unborn children being
tom limb from limb which has
sometimes happened in late
abortions when the infant who
is old enough to fed pain has
been dismembered in utero ”

She believed that after 24
weeks when a baby is capable
of sustaining independent life
it deserved protection.

Supporting her. Lord Mc¬
Call of Dulwich, director of
surgery at Guy]s hospital said
that irresponsible mavericks
would be able to kill a child up
to foe time of birth. Despite
assurances to foe contrary, foe
Abortion Act, 1967 led to
abortion on demand

The Bishop of London, Dr
Graham Leonard, said foe
question was whether foe
presumption should tie with
foe preservation of life or with
the destruction of life when it
is inconvenient to a greater or
lesser extent to ourselves.

Lord Brightraan, who
chaired foe Lords year-long
enquiry into the abortion
laws, said the Commons
amendment closely followed
foe committee’s recommend¬
ations. “There is no logic or
humanity in requiring a

mother against her will to
carry an unborn child to frill
term merely because the di¬
agnosis was made too late to
enable a termination to be
carried out within a fixed
timetable."

Lord Houghton ofSowerby
said anti-abortionists object¬
ing to foe Commons amend¬
ment wanted a “weasel
formula” put into the Bill to
allow prosecutions of doctors
performing terminations
where a habv js capable of

SENTENCING

Labour
support
for jail
measure

By Quentin Cowdry
home \ffairs
correspondent

LABOUR says it supports
ministerial plans to encourage
courts io imprison fewer
people, due to be unveiled in a
flagship government bill next
month.

Roy Hattersley. shadow
home secretary, said yesterday
that Labour wholeheartedly
supported what it considered
would be the bill’s central
thrust, a proposal to persuade
courts to jail many fewer non¬
violent offenders.

His statement, made at a
conference in London on
crime prevention, raises the
prospect that the Opposition
might vote for a bill expected
to dominate what could well
be foe last parliamentary ses¬
sion before the general
election.

It was unclear last night,
however, whether Labour
would make its support con¬
ditional upon foe govern¬
ment’s accepting amendments
to the bill designed to ensure
that judges and magistrates
firmly adopt the new policy.

Mr Hattersley said that
Labour welcomed the govern¬
ment’s recognition that im¬
prisonment was a costly, even
counter-productive, penalty
for most offenders. He spoke
of Labour's "ecumenical”
backing for foe plans.

He added, however, that
ministers' refusal to accept foe
need for the creation of a
sentencing council to monitor
and enforce foe planned
guidelines was a serious flaw.
They also had to sound less
punitive when discussing
sentencing because their rhet¬
oric was sending conflicting
messages to the courts.

There was little reason, he
said, to believe that courts
would radically change their
wavs.

LOCAL COUNCILS

Blunkett aims at the bureaucrats

LABOUR promised yesterday that it
would make a determined assault cm
town haff bureaucracy as part of its
efforts to win pubiic support for higher
spending on local services.

The pledge was made by David
Blunkett, foe Opposition's local govern¬
ment spokesman, as be amplified his
party's proposals to make local govern¬
ment.moreconsumcr friendly.

Private firms would be allowed to tender
for services such as refuse collection, but
cost would not be foe only criterion in
awarding contracts. The quality com¬
mission planned by Labour would have
a central rote in ensuring that consumer
satisfaction was also taken into account.

“For Chose who believe that efficiency
and effectiveness are more than merely
cheapness, competition is seen as one,
but only one; of a number of strands in
ensuring quality and consumer satisfac¬
tion. This is why foe Labour party has
not rejected tendering out of hand but

prosperity.

“While competitive tendering (avoid¬
ing compulsion wherever possible) has a
part to play, it is only a part. Disseminat¬

and initiatives, rewarding service as well
as penalising incompetence, are all part
of our vision of the fiiture", Mr Blunkett

force it to place contracts elsewhere.

Kiev’s victorious
students call
their hunger strike

From Nick Worrall in kjhv

REJOICING at what ap¬
peared to be their absolute
political victory over the
Ukrainian government, stu¬
dents in Kiev decided in a
mass vote yesterday to call a
temporary halt to their two-

week-old hunger strike.

The decision showed the
students* distrust of President
Kravchuk and his conser¬
vative Communist parlia¬
mentary majority which had
reneged on its July undertak¬
ings to give the republic
greater autonomy and make
its armed forces independent
of Moscow. After a meeting at
the strikers’ huge tented camp

in central Kiev they resolved
that they “do not have lull
trust in the Ukrainian par¬
liament and therefore only
suspend the hunger strike".

A crowd of thousands
jammed Kiev’s widest street,

the Khreshchatik, cheering
and applauding the students’
political victory, the first such
defeat of a government in the
73-year history of the Soviet
Union. Many waved blue-
and-ycllow Ukrainian flags
and one of the placards said of
the 200 hunger strikers: “You
are our consciousness, the best
sons and daughters of our
nation." On Wednesday two

Moscow hauls in
illegal weapons

From Bruce Clark in Moscow

A NATIONWIDE campaign
against illegal weapons and
armies in the Soviet Union
has led to the recovery of huge
quantities of materiel but
failed to break up the armed
bands of Armenia, the interior
ministry admitted yesterday.

The ministry, which like all
agencies of the Soviet govern¬
ment has lost considerable
power to its counterparts in
the IS republics, said three
tons of explosives, 700,000
pieces of ammunition and
20,200 firearms had been
seized or surrendered since
August 11. Thai was the date
when President Gorbachev’s
decree outlawing private ar¬
mies, which was initially sup¬
posed to take effect over IS
days from July 25, was ex¬
tended by two months.

The ministry said the arms
haul had been most successful
in the Slav republics and
Kazakhstan, and it singled out
the weaponry recovered in the
Ukraine: 6,600 firearms in¬
cluding 2.500 military rifles,
and 375,000 rounds of ammu¬
nition. It was not clear
whether those seizures had
anything to do with the Ukrai¬
nian nationalist movement
which, since the veiled insur¬
gency of the immediate post¬
war years, has been scrupu¬
lously noo-violeoL

Easily the most difficult
operation was that in Arme¬
nia, whose unofficial armies,
thought at their height to have
grouped well over 100,000
fighters against neighbouring
Azerbaijan, were the main
target About 56 people,
including five members of the
security forces, were killed as a

direct result of efforts to quell
and disarm various paramili¬
tary forces in the southern
republic. Despite delicate
compromise-broking by
Levon Ter-Petrossian, Arme¬
nia’s nationalist (Resident, the
interior ministry acknowl¬
edged that its task was not yet
completed.

“Illegal activity by a whole
series of armed groups has not
yet been neutralised,” a min¬
istry statement said.

In one typical incident ear¬
lier this month, Armenian
villagers acting with the appar¬
ent complicity of police seized
an armoured personnel carrier
and its passengers, including
two Azerbaijani civilians.
Azerbaijani villagers retali¬
ated by halting a train and
taking nine hostages. After
negotiations, both sides gave
up their captives two days
later.

Faced with open defiance of
their authority, the Soviet
security forces have in certain
places been inching towards
compromise with local na¬
tionalists. Senior Armenian
politicians were invited re¬
cently to the local army bead-
quarters to watch exercises
and hold apparently construc¬
tive talks about fulfilling the
nationalist demand that
youths do military service
only in their home republic.

A similar demand has been
endorsed by the Ukrainian
parliament, and a member of
that republic's government
said this week that, after
stonewalling at first, Moscow
defence chiefs now seemed
willing to co-operate with its
implementation.

hunger-strikers who had
fused water were rushed
hospital and placed in inten¬
sive care. Meet were taking
regular sips of water or herbal
tea to avoid dehydration. The
hunger- strikers wore white
headbands and were being
cared for by thousands of
volunteers.

City life for die past few
days has been disrupted by
countless street marches, first
by students, then by increas¬
ing numbers of office and
factory workers who decided
to give their support By
midnight on Wednesday, a
small hunger-strike camp set
up outside the parliament
building on Saturday had been
dismantled. Eight of the strik¬
ers there wctc people’s dep¬
uties who addressed the
Ukrainian parliament — still
wearing their headbands — to
press the students' demands.

Unexpectedly on Wednes¬
day morning, President Krav¬
chuk conceded the students'
primary demand by announc¬
ing the resignation of his
prime minister, Vitali Masol,
regarded by the students as the
principal obstacle to reform in
Ukraine. Later that night,
amid demands from some
ultra-conservatives for a state
of emergency and tough mili¬
tary action to clear the city of
demonstrators, the 354 dep¬
uties in parliament were asked
by the president to vote on a
compromise package.

The deputies agreed by 314
votes to 40 that a referendum
of confidence in the govern¬
ment should be beld next year
which would also dedde on a
framework for new, multi¬
party elections; that no Ukrai¬
nians should do compulsory
military service outside the
republic; that a commission
should be set up to examine
the question of natio nalising
property owned by the Com¬
munist Party; that President

union treaty should be re-

with Moscow over the ques¬
tion of military service. A

egation in Moscow to discuss
this tricky matter this week
was reported to have been told
by the defence minister. Mar¬

IN PRAGUE

CZECHOSLOVAKIA'S com¬
munist-appointed defence
minister, dismissed on Wed¬
nesday by President Havel,
was removed from office for
his role in preparing the army
to put down last November's
“velvet revolution", accord¬
ing to a presidential com¬
mission report released here
yesterday.

The report said the army
was preparing to send troops
and tanks into the streets to
defend the communist system,
and the sacked defence min¬
ister, General Miroslav Vacek,
then the army chief of staff,
was a key supporter of the use
of force. It was unclear
whether the army was to act to
support the dwindling power
of the communist party
hierarchy, or whether it was
acting on behalf of hardline
party officials. The general
acted on orders from the
defence minister to co-or¬
dinate meetings with the in¬
terior ministry and organise
“Operation Wave", intended
to take control of radio and
television stations at the
height of the revolution.

“Operation Wave" was
initiated by Rudolf Hegeri¬
ba n, the hardline head of the
party central committee's
“department 13” and the sus¬
pected boss of the country’s
secret police. The army
pushed hard for a military
solution, the report said. It
promised Politburo hardliners
that it “would attempt to
influence the central com¬
mittee in the direction of firm
political decisions to protect
and to preseve the leading role
of the communist party and
socialism”.

Special operational groups
were established, officers and
men were divided affording
to their political reliability and
14.500 men and 155 tanks
were made available for
putting down the street pro¬
tests. From 4 pm on Novem¬
ber 24, ibe report said, these
army units “were ready to
fulfil their planned tasks".

President Havel dismissed
General Vacek immediately
after he read the commission’s

ONE of the liveliest shares
now quoted on the Frankfurt
stock exchange is that of an
industrial company which is
not only in liquidation, but
has not produced anything
since the second world war.
Speculators, including at least
two British companies, are
buying into the firm so fast
that the share value has dou¬
bled in recent months to
around £10.

Listed as “IG Farben in
Liquidation" it is heir to the
assets of what was once the
biggest chemical agglomerate
in the world and which, under
the nazi regime, manufactured
the Zyklon-B gas used in
extermination camps.

The rush to buy into the
company is because it now has
a chance of reclaiming prop¬
erty in what was East Ger¬
many with a value estimated
at billions of pounds. At its
headquarters in Frankfurt, the
company liquidators have
drawn up claims for around 60

square miles of land, chemical
plant and machinery. Hie
necessary paperwork was
lodged with the authorities by
October 13 which, under the
terms of the unification treaty,.
was the out-off date for claims
on property in East Germany.

During the war IG Farben
employed around 330,000
people in SO different con¬
cerns around the Third Reich.
They provided many of the
materials necessary to run the
nazi war machine, including
oil, explosives and synthetic
rubber, produced at Ausch¬
witz by forcetHabour gangs.

After the war die 11 com¬
pany directors were tried .for
war crimes and imprisoned.
In the Soviet zone, or areas
like Auschwitz in what is now
Poland, the company’s prop¬
erty was nationalised ami run
by die state:

The Western allies split the
conglomerate into the constit¬
uent pans which had been first
polled together in the 1920s to

.Create IG Farben. The in¬
dividual companies — BASF,
Bayer, Hoescht and Agfa
among them — prospered
thanks to West Germany’s
4ree-maifce! economy.

• In 1952 it Was realised that
the original company had so
many outstanding claims
against it that it was necessary
to set np a special operation.
It paid out around £5 million
in reparations, looked after
company pensioners, and did.

of the two liquidators, is sure

least something, although the
unification treaty excludes
property confiscated by the
Soviet authorities between
1945 and 1949. The. liq¬
uidators intend to fight on die
ground that these expropria¬
tions were illegal and therefore
invalid. The legal battle is
likely to prove a test case for

HOUSE and Senate nego¬
tiators have finally agreed on
America’s first post-Coki War
defence budget After a decade
of sustained military build-up,
they have reversed direction,
approving a bill that cuts
spending, squeezes President
Reagan’s cherished Strategic
Defence Initiative (Star Wars)
programme, and sets in train a
big demobilisation of service¬
men over the next five years.
On the future of the contro¬
versial B2 “stealth" bomber,
however, they were delib¬
erately ambiguous.

The bilL which both houses
of Congress and the While
House are expected to accept
sets the Pentagon's 1991 bud¬
get at S288 billion (£147
billion). S6 billion less than
this year and almost S19
billion less than the White
House had asked for. The

Iraqi invasion of Kuwait had
dulled congressional appetite
for securing a really big “peace
dividend", and this was a
more modest reduction than
once expected.

The negotiators agreed to
keep alive the B2 programme,
but only just They allocated
$4.1 billion for research and
procurement, but failed to
specify whether this was sim¬
ply to complete the 15 B2s
already ordered, or to permit
the Pentagon to order two
more in 1991.

The House has been deter¬
mined to kin the programme.
Les Aspin, chairman of the
armed services committee,
said the Pentagon would re¬
quire specific congressional
approval to order two more
B2s. However, Sam Nunn, his
Senate counterpart, said that
the air force now had the

authority to order two more
aircraft and that the pro¬
gramme was “alive and welT.

The biU proposes a big
reduction in spending on the
Strategic Defence Initiative
from $3.8 billion this year to
$2.9 billion next, $L8 billion
less than the administration
wanted and the lowest level
since 1985.

2.1 million, will be be art fay
100,000, including 50,000
based in Europe, as the first
step in a reduction of425,800
over the next five years. The
bill also cuts by about two-

funding request for the 10-

TV advertisers vie for children’s minds

From Charles Bremner

IN NEW YORK

AMERICAN children woke up yes¬
terday to the chilling prospect of life
without mutant turtles, or at least the
television version of their heroes.

Because the cartoons amount to
programme-length commercials for
the plastic turtles and their parapher¬
nalia, the television shows are likely
to fall under new restrictions on
advertisements permitted on chil¬
dren’s television. The law, passed by
Congress and reluctantly approved by
President Bush on Wednesday, re¬
sponds to the alarm of parents and
educators at the damage being done to
the young American psyche by deteri¬
orating television values and an
unprecedented commercial assault.

|n the view of many, children are
being used as a vulnerable captive
audience in an ever more ferocious
struggle for a market worth billions of
dollars. The battle for the brand
affections of little hearts and minds

has gone too far, even for some in the
commercial world. Advertising Age.
the trade weekly, said recently: “What
used to be a somewhat even battle
between the exaggerations and lure of
advertising and the prudence of
authority figures at home has become
dangerously one-sided.” It called on
advertisers to “soften their hedonistic
appeals" to children.

The new law limits commercials on
children’s programmes to 10!6 min¬
utes an hour on weekends and 12
minutes on weekdays. It also requires
stations to broadcast at least some
educational fare as a condition for the
renewal of their licences. Mr Bush
came close to imposing a veto and
withheld his blessing because he
believes that the law infringes the
right of free speech, guaranteed under
the first amendment to the
constitution.

Since all limits to commercials were
removed by the Reagan administra¬
tion on the same constitutional

grounds, children's television has
multiplied seven days a week mi the
array of broadcast and cable channels.

It fa dominated by crude and
usually violent cartoons which are
often vehicles for merchandise. Even
those are punctuated by advertise¬
ments for up to a quarter of the time.
Adult programmes randy show more
than eight minutes an hour of
advertisements. The new law also
requires the federal regulators to
restrict “program rae-lenglh
commercials”.

This frenetically paced “kidvjkf* fa
being blamed for everything from the
decrease in attention span and reading
ability repaired by schoofato the
surge in street crime. The University
of Pennsylvania reported in January
that children were being exposed to a
“mean and dangerous world" Violent
acts had risen from 18 an hour in 1980
to 26 in 1989. “We are doing severe
damage to our children,” said Senator
Paul Simon, one of the sponsors of a

draft bill to limit violence on
idevison.

According to a recent spate of
studies, many children are being
turned into couch potatoes. A study
by Yale psychologists this year contra¬
dicted the view that children ax least
absorbed information about the world

from television. They found that
heavy-viewing children were less weO
informed than those who went out to
play with their friends. Others are
arguing that Jtidvids and exposure to
the unprecedented earthiness of adult
shows are depriving children of their
mnocence.

Over the past coupteof years firms
have also begun campaigns in schools.
In one of the most controversial, the
Whittle group provides free television
sets and a cfosed-drcuh programme
to schools if they show commercials
in tire class. Brands such as Mo-
Donakb and Kentucky Fried Chicken
are also “sponsmincT classroom

impasse economy

From Michael Binyon
IN BRUSSELS.

NEGOTIATIONS between
the European Community and
the European Free Trade
Association to. form a 19-
metion free trade area have
nachedan impasse. Virtually
no progress was made after
two (fays of talks here, either
on how Efta could share m EC
detason-mafcmg or. on the
long list of . exceptions to EC
rules that Efta is demanding.

There is now almost, no
hope for a treaty setting up.the
European Economic Area to
be completed by tire end ofthe
year. Ftars oust that talks may
break down, prompting sev¬
eral Efta members such as
Sweden and Norway, to apply
immediately for full commu-
nity membership.

Franz Blankart, the Swiss
economic secretary of stater
who fa leading the Efta nego¬
tiators, said yesterday that
both sides- had reaffirmed,
their will to reach agreement
But nothing further had crane

and Mr Blaokarit raid the ideas

He said both Sides had now
been polarised, but this was
expected in such complex
negotiations: It was only when
ah impose had been readied
that it cduld be overcome. “It
fa absolutely normal and
foreseeable.” he said. •

Efta has been tddthat their

they wiH be binding in all 19

sovereign right of the seven to

Brussels, however, refuses

Peking leaders
revive call for
faster reforms

From Reuter in Peking

Coming to Nms t struggle between a Peruvian policeman and a housewife in
, Unta yesterday during a poor women’s march outside Congress seeking food aid

CHINA’S Communist Party
leader, Jiang Zemin, signalled
yesterday what diplomats saw
as a significant shift in Pe¬
king’s power struggle by reviv¬
ing a once discredited slogan
calling for fester reforms.

Diplomats said it appeared
that Mr Jiang, aged 64, was
trying to establish himself as
the true successor to elder
Statesman Deng Xiaoping,
aged 86, and not just a stop¬
gap leader. Mr Deng, although
m retirement, is believed to
bold the reins of power.

“Chipa will slick to the
policies of reform and opening
up laid down by Comrade
Deng Xiaoping We intend to
Speed up the process of reform
and opening but we will keep
to the socialist road,” Mr
Jiang was quoted as saying by
the People’s Daily.

In a separate report. Presi¬
dent Yang praised Mr Deng as
the architect of the Iasi decade
of reforms and said they
would be “speeded up a little”.

Diplomats said the nuances
were important. It was the
first reference to quickening
reforms by a Chinese leader
for a long time and recalled
the slogan used by former
party leader, Zhao Ziyang, at
the 13th party congress in
1987. As hardliners gained the
upper hand the slogan was

dropped in 1988 and replaced
by “deepening the reforms”
and “economic readjustment
and rectification".

Mr Jiang, a Soviet-trained
technocrat who replaced Mr
Zhao last year, was widely
seen as Mr Deng’s protege but
lacking his own power base
and vulnerable to attacks by
conservatives after his men¬
tor's eventual death.'

Tbe twinning of Mr Jiang's
remarks with Mr Yang's
seemed to signify that they
were working together under
Mr Deng’s banner, a Western
diplomat said.

Their comments, made to
visiting Lee Kuan Yew, the
Singapore prime minister,
were in sharp contrast to an
economic policy speech issued
by U Peng the prime min¬
ister, fast week which ad¬
vocated caution and argued
against speed. “We cannot
develop blindly... We do not
want to seek overly rapid
growth,” he said.

No mention was made of
reforms in the report on Mr
Li’s meeting with his guest,
which was published with the
other two reports on the front
page of People's Daily. “Ji¬
ang's remarks are important,
significant... But he does not
mean political reform,” said
an East European diplomat

Summit
offer to
Seoul
by Kim

From Simon Warner

IN SEOUL

PRESIDENT Kim II Sung of
North Korea said yesterday
that he was ready for a summit
with Roh Tae Woo, his South
Korean counterpart as soon
as talks between their prime
ministers make progress in
easing Cold War tensions.

President Kim told Kxing
Young Hoon. the visiting
South Korean prime minister,
that he was pleased talks had
“proceeded smoothly” Al¬
though the two days of prune
ministerial talks in Pyongyang
did not yield any significant
agreement it was decided that
a third meeting would be
convened in Seoul for Decem¬
ber It-14.

In Seoul there are expecta¬
tions thai an agreement on a
non-aggression pact wilt be
reached during the December
meeting or at one after a
summit between President
Kjm and President Roh some
time next year. Experts believe
that the Nonh Korean presi¬
dent appeared to be trying to
take personal credit for mov¬
ing the peace process forward,
in feet it is being dictated by
the rapid progress in relations
between Seoul and Peking and
the South's restoration of ties
with Moscow, which has left
Nonh Korea isolated.

On a visit to Washington in

with the Front These were
initiated last year by the
former US president Jimmy

some backing from the UN,

*Tm going to do it by myself. I’m going to fight
it to the bone. Kick It in the teeth.”

Jamie Layan, 10, has Duchenne muscular

. ^ dystrophy, a.fatal disease that picks on young
' boys. Starting with the legs, it wastes muscle

- - tissue, weakening as it goes, finally affecting

- the lungs and the heart.

The end usually comes in the late teens or early
' twenties.

“Other people, they get older on the outside.
Pm being worn away from the inside. I wish
E could stop the clock. Especially at
birthdays."

For Viv and Tony Lavan, Jamie's diagnosis was a
hammer blow: be is their hard-won only
child. But they're fighting the disease like
tigers. Through sheer determination, he
can still walk twenty yards unaided, to
the delight of ibfe team at Hammersmith
- Hospital. Sports, games, climbing trees are

out. but he still goes to cubs. And school:
This boy called me Skoda legs. I called him
Concorde nose, 'cos he has. Then my friend
hit him. He doesn’t call me it now.”

If only his determination alone could cheat the
disease. But it can’t. Jamie needs all the help
he can get.

At the moment he can't really bear to look at
calipers, bui soon he’ll be in them. Spinal
braces, rods and jackets, and various wheel¬
chairs will follow.

He will have to be turned during the night,
manhandled io ihe baihroom He won'i be
able to clean his reeih. comb his hair
“It'S like life going into reverse, watching Jamie
grow helpless as he grows up. But he keeps
us going, really. Yon can see him fighting
inside. We can’t let him down.”

The disease follows a dismal course. But read
on, for the fact is things have never looked

more promising: for the 20.000 adults and
children with Duchenne and associated con¬
ditions, and for those yet unborn.

Three years ago, scientists isolated the protein,
dystrophin, the absence of which causes
Duchenne and related disorders. (In the
words of a researcher, it was like a light being
turned on in a darkened room.)

Since then the pace has quickened. This year,
tests are under way to inject cells carrying
the protein into affected muscles, to try to
make them grow again.

And - most exciting of all - ways are being sought
to implant genes which would themselves
deliver the protein to those muscles.

Taken together, these two lines of approach
hold out a simple promise - in cell therapy,
for a treatment; and in gene therapy, for
the cure.

“1990 has been the most exciting year in
the Muscular Dystrophy Group’s 30 year
history. For our many parents it's been
frustrated excitement, because, of course,
they want an effective treatment right now.
But the treatment and the cure WILL come.
We must just keep up the effort.”
paul walker, director muscular dystrophy croup

Jamie is challenging us io a race against time.
For there is much work to be done to make
the cure a reality. It’s the kind of steady,
dedicated, painstaking work that needs,
above all, money.

■I remember a year or two back they were
testing Jamie'S muscles with needles. As he
lay there, his tears were filling the well of
his collar bone. He said, don’t cry Mummy,
I can take it, I can take it, if ifS going to find
me a cure.”

WHAT YOU CAN DO.

Because we’re not a large charity, we concen¬
trate our publicity effort around Muscular
Dystrophy Week, from October 13-20.

For that week, muscular dystrophy is a national
issue, with lots of fund raising events taking
place nationwide. (And they’re fun, too.)

Jamie would love you. your family and friends,
to give your support.

He will not give up the struggle. Neither can we.

British fudging on foreign

THE cancellation of Douglas

Israel was caused not so much by
mischievous Israeli misquotes as
by Britain’s indecisiveness on the
Palestinian issue. It showed how
easily those who sit on the fence
can be pushed off iL
If there is a lesson, it is the lack
of wisdom in trying to be on both
sides of a controversial issue. Five
or six other areas of British foreign
policy suffer from lack of clarity.

Britain’s policies on the Falk¬
land Islands and Gibraltar share
the ambiguity displayed on the
Palestinian issue. Policy on Tibet
is marked by timidity, on Europe
by internal divisions, on South
Georgia by weakness, and on
Cyprus by a refusal to meet treaty
obligations. In the case of Hong
Kong, it minors the selfdoubt ofa

This is not to suggest that all

Taken as a whole, British policy

From Richard Owen in Jerusalem

'THE four-day visit to Israel by
Douglas Hurd, the foreign sec¬
retary, has put Anglo-Israeli rela¬
tions on a new footing at the ex¬
pense of Britain's standing with
Palestinians.

Even the new warmth in Anglo-
Israeli ties was marred by sugges¬
tions that right-wing Israeli MPs
deliberately embarrassed Mr Hurd
by leaking reports that he had
expressed opposition to a Palestin¬
ian stale. Angry Palestinian lead¬
ers boycotted a meeting with Mr
Hurd in protest on Wednesday.

Mr Hurd, who yesterday held
final talks with Moshe Arens, the
defence minister, before leaving
for Athens, said be had been

Jerusalem
rethink
on mission

From Richard Owen

IN JERUSALEM

ISRAEL yesterday hinted at a
compromise over its refusal to
allow a United Nations mission to
investigate the Temple Mount
killings in Jerusalem nearly two
weeks ago.

Under the proposal Israel would
make available to Javier Perez de
Cuellar, the UN Secretary-Gen¬
eral, the results of its inquiry
under the chairmanship of Gen¬
eral Zvi Zamir, a former bead of
Mossad, the Israeli intelligence
service. Officials said the findings,
due next week, could be supple¬
mented by evidence from UN
officials in Israel and the occupied
territories.

Douglas Hurd this week urged
Israel to accept the UN mission ,
even if it could not accept the UN 1
Security Council resolution on the
Temple Mount shootings. He :
urged Israel not to divert attention
from Iraqi aggression in KuwaiL
But yesterday Moshe Arens, the
defence minister, said after talks
with Mr Hurd that there was no
room for the UN mission in Israel.
He said the UN resolution had
“condemned Israel before the
mission even set foot here".

The Zamir commission yes¬
terday recalled border police com¬
manders for further questioning.

It has interviewed the imprisoned
Palestinian leader Faisal Husseini;
Ronni Milo, the minister of
police, and officers of Shin Bet,
Israel’s internal security service,
who said their warnings of the
coming riot were ignored by
border police commanders.

Mr Arens said the Temple
Mount killings would not affect
the alliance against Iraq as “the
coalition built against Saddam
Hussein by the US President is
sufficiently deep".

whether this led to a Palestinian
state or not was a matter for
negotiation.

But sources in the Knesset
insisted that Mr Hurd had said
that Britain did not favour the
idea of a Palestinian state. They
said that this had laid Mr Hurd
open to the ride that his remarks
would be used to cause a breach
between Britain and the
Palestinians.

The incident sounded a sour
note in what was otherwise a week
of remarkable cordiality, with Mr
Hurd and David Levy, the Israeli
foreign minister, effusive about
their new-found friendship. The
mutual regard was all the more
striking, given the differences
between them.

Mr Hurd, the first British
foreign secretary to visit Israel
since 1984. has the patrician
manner which Israelis tend to
associate with the era of the
British mandate. To them he
appears to be the classic, aloof
Englishman, and is automatically
assumed to be pro-Arab.

Mr Levy, by contrast, is a
former building labourer, a
Moroccan immigrant who speaks
almost no English, and has risen to
high office by climbing the ladder
of the right-wing Likud party. A
figure of fun to left-wing intellec¬
tuals, Mr Levy is supported by the
increasingly powerful, working-
class Sephardic (oriental) Jews
and, despite his rough diamond
image, could be a future prime
minister.

According to Mr Hurd, he and
Mr Levy established a “personal
chemistry'* while conversing in
French. By the time Mr Levy
hosted a dinner for Mr Hurd on
Wednesday evening. Israeli dis¬
pleasure over Mr Hurd's harsh
anti-Israeli remarks in Cairo had
been smoothed over.

Mr Hurd failed, in French or
any other language, to persuade
Israel to accept the UN mission
charged with investigating the
Temple Mount killings. But be
found unanimity on the Gulf
confrontation, praised Israel's
"shrewd, low profile”, and
described the Shamir government
as sharing Britain's aim of a
peaceful Middle East. Britain and
Israel agreed to hold “close and
regular consultations" in future.

This relationship, if sustained,
puts Anglo-lsraeb relations in a
new perspective. It is only three
years since Britain expelled
Mossad agents for operating with¬
out reference to the British
authorities.

Israel will watch closely to see
whether Britain now tries to repair
its damaged relations with the
Palestinians. “We need to know
which is the real Douglas Hurd,"
the Jerusalem Post said yesterday;
the one who urges Israel to talk to
the PLO, or the one who expresses
disappointment over the PLO’s
backing for Iraq and who asserts,
as Mr Hurd did at the Knesset this
week, that Israel must have “cred¬
ible, secure borders".

bodia, and helping Mr Major and
Sir Geoffrey to convince Mrs
Thatcher on entering the Euro¬
pean Exchange Rate Mechanism.
The hostages are next, probably
followed by Syria. But much
remains to be done. .

□ The Palestinian issue Mr Hurd
said that the British position was
well known. In feet, it is little
known, because it was written
timidly to avoid attention.

Nothing could be weaker than
the statement that Britain “fa¬
vours setfdetennination for the
Palestinian people. Whether or
not that leads to a Palestinian state
is a matter for them and for
negotiation”. It was understand¬
able if the Palestinians thought

that meant a lack of support for
statehood. The Israelis made it
sound like outright opposition, by
twisting Mr Hind’s words. They
could not have done that if die
policy had been dear.

Successive British governments
have said that Israeli occupation
of the West Bank and Gaza is
illegal, and have backed Palestin¬
ian self-determination. It is not
logically possible to square that
with silence on statehood. The
policy should say that Britain
supports a Palestinian slate within
borders giving security to brad,
Palestine and neighbouring coun¬
tries. How the borders should be
determined is a different matter.

The policy suffers from the
same dilemma as UN resolution
242, of which Britain was the main
author. Although it was the
foundation stone of subsequent
peace efforts, it was flawed by a
lack of plain-speaking which an¬
gered Palestinians.

D The Falklands: Britain has

begun to follow policies whichvnll
lead Argentinians to think that the
sovereignty of foe Falklands will
one day be negotiable. This is not
a criticism of foe renewal of
diplomatic relations in March,
which was a wise step.

The fault lies m other decisions
which suggest a lack of moral
confidence in Britain's, sov¬
ereignty. It. was a mistake to
separate the. constitution of the
Falklands from that. of South
Georgia, implying that Britain
might, give up foe, former while
retaining the latier.

Sir Geoffibey was unwise to
refuse the islanders' requests that
he dedare'a200-nufeHmil, (apart
from the area between foe islands
and the mainland, which would be
equally divided). His hand was
forced in 1986, when Argentina
tried to encroach on Falklands
waters. But he declared only a 150-
mile limit, which has proved
inadequate fix' fishing conserva¬
tion, on which the islands’ econ¬

omy depends. The islanders sue
again .appealing for . a 200-mile
zone. Mr Hurd sixfold agree,.both
to help the islanders and to
remove doubts on sovereignty.

Egypt‘backs talks Poll shows Britons
to bypass PLO’ favour use of force

From Richard Owen in Jerusalem

By Our Foreign Staff

IN THE wake of the support given
to President Saddam Hussein of
Iraq by the Palestine Liberation
Organisation. Israeli officials
believe that both Egypt and the
Western powers are “increasingly
sympathetic" to the long-standing
contention of Yitzhak Shamir,
Israeli's right-wing prime min¬
ister, that Israel should conduct
peace talks not with the PLO. but
with "non-PLO Palestinian fig¬
ures" in the occupied territories.

“This is the first political fruit of
the PLO’s disastrous mistake in
backing Baghdad," one source
said.

Moshe Arens, the defence min¬
ister, said yesterday after talks
with Douglas Hurd, the foreign
secretary, that Palestinian support

Arens: says PLO harmed
by support for Saddam

for President Saddam had dearly
damaged the PLO and “banned
progress towards an lsraeti-
Palestmian dialogue”. Palestinian
personalities accused Britain of
moving towards the Israeli con¬
cept of an “alternative leadership”
in the West Bank and Gaza.

Britain and other Western of¬
ficials have argued since the
Palestinian intifada broke out
nearly three years ago that most
Palestinians look to the PLO for
leadership, and that Mr Shamir's
search for non-PLO negotiating
partners was bound to prove
fruitless. To some extent this still j
holds. But the fervent Palestinian 1
backing for President Saddam,
and what Mr Hurd called “Pal¬
estinian attempts to find excuses
for the rape of Kuwait", have put
Western relations with the PLO
under severe strain.

Clearly not displeased by this,
Israeli officials have let it be
known that Egypt is considering
another initiative to open a di¬
alogue between Israel and the
Palestinians which would “bypass
the PLO". Although Egypt per¬
suaded the US earlier ihis year to
include the PLO in a formula for
Arab-Israeli peace talks, its anger
with the PLO over Kuwait equals
that of the West

The Israeli newspaper Yediot
Ahronot said yesterday that the
new Egyptian plan envisaged
Palestinians from the occupied
territories visiting Cairo.

BRITAIN has emerged as foe
European nation most in favour of
using force to free Kuwait, free the
hostages or protect the West’s oil
supplies, according to a Gallup
poll of foe five largest countries.

The trend Was announced yes-,
terday as Iraq offered to sell i ts oil

that enemy planes violated its
airspace two days ago, penetrating
25 miles inside its Saudi border.

Eighty-six per cent erf Britons

Kuwait, said they would back
force to free Kuwait if sanctions
fait compared with 75 per cent in
France, 66 per cent in Spain, 63
per cent in Germany and 59 per
cent in Italy.

The other countries came closer
to the British view when the 500
interviewees in each country were
asked if they would support force
to free the hostages. Britain re¬
mained unchanged at 86 per cent
but French support rose to 82 par
cent. Italian to 72 per emit and
Germany to 70 percent. In Spain
it dropped slightly to 63 per cent.

The figures in the poll, carried
out between October 1 and Octo¬
ber 10, were generally lower on
whether force should be used to

remained top at 78 per cent.

Big Five
forced to
rely on
rhetoric

From James Bone
IN NEW YORK

JUST last month, British dip¬
lomat at foe United Nations were
insisting that the Security Council
should not pass “bleat" resolu¬
tions against Iraq.

All five permanent members -
Britain, Cfnria, Fiance, the United
States and the Soviet Union:-
agreed that resolutions loaded
with rhetoric rather than concrete
measures would only discredit
UN action. '

The violence at foe Temple
Mount in Jerusalem and the
protracted security counci] debate
that followed have changed that

nem members ‘of foe security

Britain and foe United States — is

resolution they bad resisted.

The “big five" have drafted a
text combining US ideas about
resupplying the remaining em¬
bassies in Kuwait with a watered-
down version of Mrs Thatcher's
call for Iraq to pay what she called
reparations. The draft is described
as “less toothy" than other votes
against Iraq. It reasserts Iraq’s
obligations to foreign nationals
and embassies m Kuwait, particu¬
larly iteduty to allow food to reach
stranded diplomats there, and at
Cuba's insistence asks the UN
secretary-general to continue to
try to achieve a peaceful solution.

There is.no mention of war
crimes, despite President Bush's
speech earlier this week warning of
a repeat of the Nuremberg trials
after the second worM wm. Elabo¬
rate plans, contained in a British
working paper, to pay compensa¬
tion out of Iraq's frozen foreign
assets have been shelved. The
draft resolution simply r eaf fi r m s
Iraq's liability to pay compen¬
sation and invites governments to
collect information of claims by
their citizens.

Diplomats say foe resolution
was softened so it could be passed
speedily - before next Wednes¬
day’s deadline for a UN report on
the Temple Mount violence. They
say options for further UN mea¬
sures against Iraq are now runnii^
out after a series of unprecedented
resolutions since the invasion.
“There is not an awful lot extra
one can do that is not going to the
military option,” one said. “But if

it is necessary politically, I am sure
we can think of something." The

De Klerk ends state of emergency

From Gavin Bell in Pretoria

PRESIDENT de Klerk has form¬
ally ended the four year-old state
of emergency in South Africa,
paving the way for full-scale
negotiations on a new constitution
which the goverrtnent hopes will
begin early next year

The security measures were
withdrawn yesterday in Natal, the
scene of years of murderous strife
between rival black organisations,
the only area in which they
remained in force. They were
lifted elsewhere last June.

Despite continuing sporadic vi¬
olence, conditions in Natal had
stabilised to the point where the
ordinary laws of the land were
sufficient to maintain OTder, Mr
dc Klerk said yesterday. He
misted it would not become
necessary to introduce special
security measures again, but the
government would not hesitate to
do so. “Violence and intimidation
bring no solutions." he said.
“There is only one route to peace
and reconciliation in our country.

and that is through peaceful
negotiation."

Although foe draconian powers
of arrest and indefinite detention
were withdrawn, a strong security
presence will remain in foe prov¬
ince where more than 3,000
people have been killed in fac¬
tional fighting in the past five
years. Adnaan Vlok, foe minister
of law and order, said be believed
more police were required to
ensure that there were no new
flare-ups.

Special security measures re¬
main in force in almost 30 black
townships in foe Transvaal, where
more than 500 people were kilted
in August.

The removal of the nationwide
emergency imposed in June 1986
was one of the main conditions
laid down by the ANC for
beginning negotiations on a new
constitution, and by foe inter¬
national community for lifting
sanctions against Pretoria.

“I think most of the impedi¬

ments have now been removed,
and there is nothing as far as we
are concerned standing in the way
of negotiations proceeding," Mr
de Klerk said. He could give no
specific timetable for the negotia¬
tions. but reaffirmed his goal of
submitting a draft constitution to
a referendum before a general
election is due in 1994. Only if
negotiations could not be con¬
cluded before then would there be
another genera] election under foe
present parliamentary system,
from which blacks are excluded
Mr de Klerk denounced plans
by the far-right Conservative
Party to stage a campaign of civil
disobedience in ptolesi against the
government’s reforms. “I think
there is a general sense of outrage
at foe irresponsible altitude of foe
Conservative Party with regard to
disruption of (National Party)
meetings, and unlawful actions
such as withholding taxes.” he
said. He added that he would deal
with this matter “very fully” a few

hours later, in an address to the
Transvaal congress of his party.

Fighting between Zulu followers
of the Natal-based Inkafoa Free¬
dom Party and Xhosa-speaking
township dwellers who broadly
support foe ANC has abated after
massive security operations, but
sporadic clashes are continuing.

Meanwhile, three white men ,
have been arrested in connection !
with a gun attack on a bus in Natal
last week in which six blacks woe ;
killed and 27 injured. Two of the j
suspects are members of foe i
Afrikaner Resistance Movement, ;
a paramilitary group opposed to !
the reform process. However,
police believe it was a non¬
political act of revenge for an
attack by members of a fanatical
black religious sect in Durban in ,
which eight whites were stabbed.

Mr Vlok said yesterday that no
evidence had emerged of any
mysterious “third force” which
was fomenting violence in black
communities.

Salvador rebels launch attacks
after deadlock in peace talks

LEFT-WING rebels mortared foe
main military airbase and bit
other targets around the capital on
Wednesday night in foe first heavy
fighting in the city in months.

The thud of mortar shells,
followed by several hours of
rocketing and strafing by air force
helicopters and planes, caused
alarm as people thought the
Farabundo Marti National Lib¬
eration Front rebels were launch¬
ing another offensive.

But foe fighting died down and
was not of the intensity of last
November, when rebels occupied
large areas of San Salvador for
over a week, provoking foe heavi- '
est fighting of the 11-year-old civil
war.

The army reported that the
rebels fired homemade explosives
into Hlopango airbase, damaginga
helicopter and wounding a me¬
chanic. The base was seated off

Their name

Barbara Amiel says that people are far too ready to accept conventional wisdom

F ame is the spurt of scum on
top of society. We arc ob¬
sessed with celebrity. Widely
(weU pretty widely) popular tele¬
vision shows consist solely of a
small circus of personalities
flattering and being flattered by a
presenter, who is jolly nearly as
famous as they are.

The audience screams with
delight at being privileged to
attend such a meeting of celeb¬
rities Some are boro great, some
achieve greatness, and some
appear on The South Bank Show.
There is an artificial elite of
personalities who are famous
merely for being famous. These
arc the ones wbo hallow Wogan
with their smug banalities, and
appear relentlessly on the covers
of colour mags. There is even a
new magazine devoted entirely to
flattering colour pictures and ob¬
sequious teat about persons with
no apparent dairo to fame — except
tint they are already, well, famous.

Star-worship used to be thought
of as the American vice. On his
visits to America, Dickens was
amazed by the crowds who shame¬
lessly followed him down the
street just to stare, or pressed up
just to touch him. Perhaps it was
the insecurity of emigrants and ex¬
colonials wanting to make contact
with the feme and sophistication
they had left behind in Europe.
Well, we have caught the vice over
here now, encouraged by the
deplorable custom of walkabouts
by politicians and other self-
important celebrities. To think
that one gains anything by touch¬
ing a well known personality is
primitive sympathetic magic that
witch doctors would approve of.

During a visit to Australia, the
Queen Mother found herself sur¬
rounded by a group of celeb-
hungry Australians. Still smiling
graciously as the circle pressed
closer round her, she murmured:
"Please don't touch the exhibits."
A celebrity is a person who works
hard to become well known, and
then wears dark glasses to avoid
being recognised.

Quite a lot of it is our fault in the
media. Many journalists are celeb-
bunters themselves, who get their
kicks by rubbing shoulders with
the famous. So we have devised
for ourselves the Humpty Dumpty
rule that the only people worth
doing a "profile" of, or putting a
big mug-shot of on the front of our
colour mags, are celebrities who
are already instantly recognisable.
It is a dangerous myth that
everybody has one book in them.
But it is true that a good writer can
find an interesting story in any¬
body: a good snapper can take an
interesting picture of anybody. I
simply do not want to read yet
another profile of or childhood of
or “A Lavatory in the Life of’
some empty celeb who has been
done a thousand times before. It
would be much more interesting
to read the story of or see the
picture of an unknown. Bui then, l
am notoriously deficient of what
we worship as news sense in the
inky trade.

that it is an uproarious laugh, it

conspiratorial laugh, even. But
it is a laugh.

It goes with last Tuesday's
headline in Nice-Maun. The
headline ran: "Un Espion Qui
1‘ivau 4 m Chaud." Odd, to see
one’s domestic cliches appro¬
priated- Like, loo, the subhead:
“Le cinquiemc homme re-
trouvt” ll had never occurred
to me that the French knew
about ibe cmquieme homme,
or even, come to that, the
other quatre .

It is remarkable how this
latest judder of the old farrago
has generated local relish. St
Antonin is a fair few kilometres
from here across the Var, but
animated discussion of the af¬
fair has driven even the boules
final from the preoccupation of
this village’s caff society. 1 have

pondered this phenomenon
long and hard, and I have
reached the only satisfactory
conclusion. It is because what
John Cairncross was describing
himself as was a writer.

Seventy-eight per cent of the
English residential population
of Provence describe them¬
selves as writers. No caff is
without its moody Englishman
sucking a ballpoint and wiping
Pernod rings off his exercise
book, no day goes past without
a baffled stationer struggling to
decode those English croaks and
gestures deployed in the at¬
tempt to describe what Tipp-Ex
is. By day. you cannot hear the
cicadas for the clatter of the
Olivettis, and as dusk descends
you can look out across the
valleys and see the pretty twink¬
ling of a hundred word-proces¬
sor screens, ported out on to the
terraces of creative spirits
moved by the potent ambience
to cobble a paragraph or two
beside their gloaming kin.

Now, it is not that none of
them is any good, nor that none
of them has ever finished
anything, because some of them
may be and some of them may
have; what matters is that
nobody has ever heard of them.
Provence trembles with fierce
parochial pride: each village
vaunts its view, its belfry, its
cycling equipe, its restaurant, its
olive oil, its ornamental horse-
trough. To vaunt its writer is its
dream. It would nail up signs
declaring, Bienvenue a Si Quoi,
Village Lai'crai re, Ses PoCtes,
Ses Romanciers. Chests would
swell, tourists would flock, cash
registers would ring.

It does not happen. Provecoc
gets precious few literary lions.
Provence gets 20,000 English¬
men called, more or less, John
Cairncross. It glares at them as
they amble the streets, refusing
to win literary prizes or fill
bookshop windows.

But suppose they were not
writers al alL Suppose this were
merely a cover for something
immeasurably more glamorous.
This week, St Antonin has
become the most famous village
in Provence. That, surely, is
why the patron of le Caff du
Midi bought me. unprece¬
dentedly, a cognac. He thinks I
might be le sixieme homme.

If I wore a trecchcoat, he'd be
convinced.

Our society is not unique in its
celeb-mania. We have just caught
it worse. At a triumph in ancient
Rome, at least they had a slave
riding in the chariot with the
triumphant general, murmuring
“Remember, you’re only a poor
mortal sod. like everybody else",
and other apotropaic (supposed to
turn away bad luck) sentiments.
And behind him marched his
soldiers, singing obscene and
insulting apotropaic verses. (I bet
the centurions saw to it that thqy
weren't too apotropaic.) What is
so awful about our celeb-worship
is that its practitioners and audi¬
ence lake it seriously. Perhaps we
should get the modern equivalent
of a slave (a cleaner?) to wander
across the Michael Aspel set,
brushing and muttering: “Never
heard of any of them, and they're
rubbish."

Even our word for feme is
ambivalent in its roots. Our
society seems to think that feme is
an unmitigated good. .Andy War¬
hol said: "In future, everyone will
be famous for fifteen minutes.”
He got a certain amount of febrile
feme, and the money that goes
with it And a fat lot of good it did
to that deluded and talentless
mani ac. All that fame meant
originally was news. It is related to
the Greek pheme, a voice, and the
Oscan faamat , "he said". The
early Latin uses of fama are all
pejorative, undesirable: a ma¬
licious report, rumour, notoriety.
Only quite (ate, when the republic
had passed into the imperial
system run by hype and publicists,
did feme acquire the positive
meaning of glory and renown, i
something to be desired and
envied above afl things.

The Greeks, a cleverer and
more democratically inclined race i
than the Italians, were sounder on
feme than the Romans. In his
funeral oration on the Athenians
killed in their war against Sparta
in 430 BC, Pericles said: "The
greatest glory is to be least talked
about by men, whether they are
praising you or criticising you." I
agree he was referring to women al
the time, but the Greeks had a way
of cutting their male celebrities
down to size also. You could argue
a case that the Athenians lost their
war, and the Greeks lost their in¬
dependence, because their demo¬
cracy could not tolerate anybody,
even if he had some talent, being
famous for more than 1S minutes.
There is a lot to be said for not
being known to the readers of
Hello! or the viewers of Wogan.

When Auden was a young
writer, some celeb-sniffing journo
asked him what effect fame would
have upon him, should he be so
lucky. He thought a bit, and
replied: "1 believe that I would
always wear my carpet slippers.”
And when be became famous, he
always did wear his slippers, even
when the rest of him was in
evening dress (somewhat crum¬
pled). Being allowed to wear
slippers all the lime is the only
lasting benefit of the modern glory
of celebrity.

T here arc always some issues
about which it is socially
impossible to hold a dissent¬
ing view. The medical giants ofthe
19th century, for example, knew
that self-abuse led to insanity.
After the repeal of the Corn Laws,
being in favour of them was like
being against gravity. As Arthur
Koestler pointed out in The Ghost
in, the Machine, some dogmas —
even in the hard sciences — must
be believed if one is not to be
considered mad.

Most current controversies,
such as membership of the ex¬
change-rate mechanism, the Brit¬
ish Medical Association report on
pesticides, and policies on global
warming, require complex eco¬
nomic and scientific knowledge
that only a handful of people
possess. This means that most of
our responses are based on gut
feelings. The gut is a fine in¬
strument for digestion, but as far
as I know it has never actually
surpassed cerebral activity.

When a certain kind of dog¬
matism is Mowin' in the wind,
there is not much one can do
about il Only a few days ago the
chief of the Downing Street policy
unit, Brian Griffiths, was saying he
was firmly opposed to the ERM.
By now he must be counting his
ecus and keeping quiet. There may

be seven people in parliament who
understand all that the ERM
entails, but who will be able to pick
them out from the other hundred
blustering in next week’s debate?
My gut tells me that when
businessmen push fix' entry into
the ERM on the ground that it
removes risk from their en¬
trepreneurial activities, we should
be cautious and suspicious, but
that is only a gut reaction.

Reaction to the BMA’s report
this week on pesticides in food and
drink, however, ought to bea little
more cerebral. The BBC Six
O'clock News concluded its sum¬
mary of the report with a com¬
mentator’s sombre warning to the
nation that "the onus of proof
must be reversed" in order to put
the consumer’s interests before
those of the agro-chemical in¬
dustry. This reminds me of the
Queen of Heart’s, "Sentence first,
verdict afterwards" and Alice's
response, "Stuff and nonsense".
Of course we should investigate
any risk to health, but it is
cavalier to ban approved pesti¬
cides without a shred of epidemio¬
logical evidence.

Water pollution has been a
threat as long as human beings
have existed. "And all the waters
that were in the river,” the Old
Testament tells us, “were turned

to blood and the fish that was in
the river died and the river stank."
Scientists have pointed out that
this Biblical occurrence was prob¬
ably the sort ofbfoam of red algae
not uncommon today. At the
beginning of this century, deaths
in cities from water-borne typhoid
were running high. The water has
been cleaned up, pesticides have
improved our food production,
human beings are bigger, healthier
and live kmgerl But the disaster
lobby flourishes.

Is August, Channel 4 showed

Hilary Lawson's documentary The
Greenhouse Conspiracy, which
methodically examined the evi¬
dence for global wanning and
concluded, most persuasively, that
there was no evidence for the
phenomenon. The ecological
lobby mounted furious attacks on
Mr Lawson, full of sound and
fury, if not substance. Curiously,
no political party took up the
many points raised by the pro¬
gramme, which, after afl, concerns
a major world issue. "Once you
get a dogma and it is running,"
says Mr Lawson, “the social con¬
sensus is so strong that people
don't resort to facts any more.
Those who supported global war¬
ming made wild accusations. We
had used the wrong data. We were
going to be sued. Bui none of the

accusations against foe programme
have been shown m be tine."

Part of the- human condition
seems to be a need to exist with
impending doqnt This is often
satisfied by a scientific theory of
the moment Some aspects of en¬
vironmentalism have become
quasi-political movements infused
with almost metaphysical views
about human sin. targe numbers
of people disappointed by the
collapse of socialism as a social
theory have defected to foe envi¬
ronmental camp, where they.find
spiritual solace in recycling bottles
or legislating against fossil fuels.
One cannot dismiss everything en¬
vironmentalists say, just as one
cannot dismiss - everything social¬
ists say, but most environmental
.campaigners I have encountered
would not understand a scientific
theory if'it fell on their heads.
They become activists .solely
because some scientific theory
coincides with their world view.

We believe, often naively as
Koestler pointed out, that science
“knows". Bui as many academics
in foe field will tell you, the world
of science is no more—and no less
— about absolute truths than most
other areas of human activity.
Scientists have different theories .
and competing models of what the
future holds. Research grants and

prestige hinge on success. The
model that wins is presented to foe
- world as the definitive account of
what will happen. “The global
wanning theory,” . says Mr
Lawson, “came but of the
climatology departments. In the
programme, I indicated there were
possible vested interests here, and
why in foe past they supported
other disaster scenarios such as the

impending ice age."

Time and fashion will take care
of many of these models. In a few
years we shall discover whether
the ERM plays economic havoc
or brings, us new prosperity. One
must not make the mistake of
saying that every notion that gains
popularity in an era is wrong:
opposing the Zeitgeist is not proof
that one is on foe side of truth. But
anyone being sceptical about
global warming and the ERM, to
mention only two dogmas of our
time (one migbt also mention
opposition to nuclear energy, and
belief that foe community charge
is iniquitous), runs the risk of
being regarded as a lunatic. Still, I
take refuge in Samuel Johnson's
words: “There are ten thousand
stout fellows in the city of
Loudon,” he said, "ready to-fight
to foe death against Papery,
though they know not whether it
. be a man or a horse."

Macmillan: a vindication
that came too late

H arold Macmillan died
four years ago with the
imputation of a diaboli¬
cal war crime, allegedly
concealed for more than 40 years,
still overshadowing his reputation.
Widowed and alone in his "for¬
tress" at Birch Grove, forced to
watch foe slow death of Maurice,
his only son, the Iasi Victorian
prime minister endured this men¬
tal purgatory in virtual silence.

The publication of foe Cowgill
report should banish any lingering
suspicions about Macmillan's role
in the repatriation by foe British
army and subsequent deaths of
some 70,000 Cossacks and Yugo¬
slavs in 1945. Whether Nikolai
Tolstoy will now at last retract is
another matter.

Count Tolstoy has never with¬
drawn foe accusation that Mac¬
millan, having knowingly dis¬
patched thousands of Cossack
emigres and anti-Tito Yugoslavs
to their deaths in contravention of
Yalta, then conspired with a few
officers and civil servants to cover
his tracks by destroying evidence.
Now that foe documents have
been found, and it is clear that
Macmillan’s superiors knew as
much as or more than he did,
Count Tolstoy's most damaging
insinuation also fells.

In a private letter to Mac¬
millan's official biographer,
Alistair Horne, Count Tolstoy was
prepared to admit in 1988 that his
"innuendo" that Macmillan had
been blackmailed by Stalin's
NKVD was false. He has never
responded to Mr Home's chall¬
enge to make a public retraction,
and he refused to do so yesterday.

Count Tolstoy says he is
“rewriting" bis book The Minister
and the Massacres to take account
of foe mass of documentary
evidence accumulated by Briga¬
dier Cowgill. Lord Brimelow and
Christopher Booker to refute bis
conspiracy theory. But what is
there to rewrite? Count Tolstoy no
longer has a case against Mac¬
millan or against the officers of 5fo
Corps, including Lord Aldington,
who was the only one to sue Count
Tolstoy. Unless he can bring him¬
self to offer apologies to those be
accused, even though some are
dead, he must expect his own long
campaign to be scrutinised.

The Cossacks were at the heart iff Tolstoy's campaign, but the evidence has-been found

Admirably energetic as Count
Tolstoy was in bringing the fete of
the repatriated prisoners into the
public eye, his work seems to have
been driven by a passion for
scapegoats and conspiracies. “A
murder requires a murderer, and a
conspiracy a conspirator. Some¬
where I felt there existed a veiled
figure who was aware of my
fruitless attempts to uncover his
identity,” Count Tolstoy wrote in
1986, explaining how he had come
to point the finger at Macmillan.
These seem less foe sentiments of
a historian than an admissi on that
the writer’s judgment was warped
by his obsession with blaming
Allied soldiers, diplomats and
politicians for the crimes of Stalin
and Tito.

The truth, according to Cowgill,
is that the “veiled figure" was
woefully unprepared for Count
Tolstoy’s accusation, first made in
1978, that he had deliberately
banded over non-Soviet Cossacks.
A pan from his own diaries, which
be did not conceal Macmillan had
no documentary evidence with
which to counter the allegations,
which became progressively more
sensational as the years went by.

Mr Horne recalls many occa¬
sions on which he discussed foe
events of May 1945 with the blind
old man. Unable to publish until

Daniel Johnson on
the minister, the
massacres and a
flawed campaign

after his subject’s death, Horne
testifies to foe perplexity during
foe early Eighties of Macmillan’s
supporters, none of whom was in a
position to refute Count Tolstoy.
Indeed, only after CowgflTs ma¬

terial became available could
Horne write his account of
Macmillan’s role in Austria in foe
revised edition of his first volume.

Macmillan was, in Horne's
words, "devastated and dis¬
tressed”. His attempt to obtain
documents from Sir Robert Arm¬
strong, then head of the civil
service, foiled: it took devoted
researchers tike Mr Cowgill to
track down the evidence. Advised
that a Abel suit would have been
intolerably taxing — as the action
brought by the much younger
Lord Aldington against Count
Tolstoy was to prove — his
submission to cross-examination
on television was a bravc, if futile,
attempt to turn the tables.

Macmillan’s ancient feud with
the press, which bad always cred¬
ited him with infinite deviousness,
encouraged many Journalists,
including (before he embarked on
his enquiry) Christopher Booker,
to believe Count Tolstoy. Inter¬
viewing an unprepared Macmillan
in 1984, Ludovic Kennedy relied
entirety on Count Tolstoy’s
tendentious interpretation.
Closely quizzed, Macmillan was
made to appear evasive: “We had
our orders ... under foe Yalta
agreement."

The interrogation foiled in its
object. As Cowgill shows, Mac-

mfllan was telling the truth: that he
had merely advised officers on the
ground that Allied policy under
the Yalta agreement was to hand
back the Cossacks, and he had, like
everyone else, been unaware that
large? numbers of them were
Russian

Cowgill explains bow foe rigid
hierarchy of foe British army
made improbable any unauthor¬
ised initiative by Macmillan and
5th Grips. With hundreds of
thousands of displaced persons,
foe distinction between Soviet and
non-Soviet Cossacks was appre¬
ciated late, though not too late for
. the British to refiise to hand over
hundreds, perhaps thousands, of
6migr&s to the Red Army.

Yalta was unpopular with all
those obliged to implement it Bui

flict;- with Tiro- determined foe

surrendered to them, field Mar¬
shal Alexander, the supreme com¬
mander, spots of the return of the
Yugoslavs to Tito as a “military
necessity”, adding that Ire had not
been able to deal with them as be
would have liked.

Qnoe a conspiracy is dismissed,
one's view of the repatriations
depends on whether one believes
in the fundamental decency of
those who bore this dreadful
responsibility. I met Macmillan
only once, when he was a guest of
Lord Dacre at Feterhouse in 1981.
He ran rings around academics a
quarter of tus age. What impressed
me was his integrity, in 1980 he
said, in another! context “If you.
don't believe in God, all you have
to believe in is decency ...de¬
cency is very good- Better decent
than indecent. But I don't think
it’s enough.”

That is not the testimony of a
criminal, a liar or a coward.
Harold Macmillan knew that he
had behaved as decently as any¬
body in 1945. It was indeed “not
enough"," but he deserved better
than to die,.like Hamlet’s father,
"no reckoning made”. Thanks to
foe COwgill committee, that
reckoning has vindicated him
once and for alL

A fresh draught
of Porter

T he American conductor
John McGlinn has won an
epic legal contest for the
right to record the score of a Cole
Poner ballet that has not been
beard for almost 70 years. He
plans to record the music, com¬
posed by Poner in 1923 for the
Swedish Ballet and said to be of
the highest quality, in time for the
centenary of the composer's binb
next year.

The commission was for a ballet
"on an American subject". Poner
came up with Within the Quota.
the tale of a Swedish immigrant
who came to New York to live foe
American dream. Bui the com¬
pany was disbanded after the piece
was commissioned, and the score
was presumed Iosl allegedly caus¬
ing Porter to remark: “My first
attempt to be respectable must
remain in limbo forever."

In the Sixties the work was
found at the Dance Museum of
Stockholm, and music com¬
panies began wrangling over the
recording rights. A lengthy court
battle involving the Porter family
estate ensued. Finally, last week,
McGlinn, who has previously
recorded versions of Porter’s Any¬
thing Goes and Showboat using
opera singers, heard that he has
secured the recording rights. The
release of the recording with the
London Sinfonietta should prove
the highlight of the centenary
celebrations.

“It's his only real symphonic
work, and it could easily prove
even more popular than George
Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
says McGlinn, "It's a wonderful.

delicate kaleidoscope of jazz in¬
fluences." The work contains one
number, “The Sweetheart of foe
World”, apparently dedicated to
Mary Pickford, which McGlinn
believes will become a standard.

but as events there continue to
move at breathtaking speed, the
play is being continuously revised
by authors Howard Brenlon and

Tariq AIL Indeed the Soviets can
have lfrtie idea of just what it !is
they are buying. ,

So far, however, the rapidly
changing script has not deterred
foe Soviets. The Russian ambas¬
sador gave the Kremlin a
favourable report on the play's
opening, and five senior Soviet
theatre critics, with foe full back¬
ing of the Soviet leader, will visit •

chev, and foe entire London cast

averting stagflation

John Major must have stood up at the
House , last night a worried man.
Yesterdays statistics appeared to show a
80 Wed, a* so often before, by
stagflation. They had unemployment rising for
.“ e month in succession, and productiv¬
ity, tailing to rise at all. a week ago, the retail
pnee index showed inflation higher than it was
when Mrs Thatcher entered office. The
eanunga figures indicate that underlying
inflation is likely to rise further before it fells.
The pound has dropped to where it was two
weeks ago, before the Treasury mis-timed
Britain s entry into the European exchange-

rate mechanism.

The annual Mansion House speech is
considered the Treasury’s most important
annual disquisition on die government's
economic philosophy. The Chancellor chose
yesterday to concentrate only on the technicali¬
ties of European monetary union and Calla-
ghan-style exhortations about wages. This
approach, now a leitmotif of all ministerial
speeches, will make no more impression on
workers, managers, investors or voters than it
did when the Labour government used it as
SJbsutute for a supply-side economic policy in

The cabinet's economic policy following
ERM entry is now at risk from tunnel vision.
The claim is that only one valid objective
exists for macro-economic policymaking: the
reduction of inflation by means of an iron
adherence to just one currently fashionable
strategy. This strategy has included, succes¬
sively, fixed monetary targets, medium-term
fiscal plans, interest rates and now an
internationally determined exchange rate.
Known by its critics as the “one club"
approach to policy, it has never been more in
the ascendant than today.

Governments are absolutely right to seek to
control inflation. Rising prices are socially
unjust Countries which tolerate high inflation
rates for long periods suffer acute economic,
and ultimately political, distress. High infla¬
tion cannot somehow buy lower unemploy¬
ment or faster economic growth in the long
run. However, this does not mean that all other
objectives should be ignored or overridden in
the battle against inflation.

A cardinal principle ofThatcherism was that
inflation was caused, not just by monetary

indiscipline, but by inflexibilities and restric¬
tions on the supply side of the economy. These
have been tackled - for instance by trade
union reform — but only partially. Those other
supply side bugbears, rental housing and
labour skills, remain largely untouched by
Thatcherism.

Now to plunge the economy into recession,
to beat an inflation partly caused by supply 1
side inadequacies would be absurd. There is no
case for inducing a return to high unemploy¬
ment and economic stagnation merely to get
inflation down by a percentage point or two. In
the long term, a continued anti-inflation policy
should include further measures to deregulate
labour markets, improve industrial infrastruc¬
ture and achieve a better-trained workforce.
Fighting inflation is first and foremost for
microeconomics.

The other side of that coin is that macro¬
economic policy must be directed towards
promoting prosperity as well as stable prices.
Mr Major continues to suggest that he has only
one macro-economic tool — currently the
exchange rate—and that this tool is for fighting
inflation alone. By thus implying that poli¬
ticians cannot be responsible for any economic
evil other than inflation, Mr Major may try to
dodge blame for those other evils, but he also
denies government much of its purpose — and
Thatcherism much of its crusade.

Unemployment is not just the fault of the
trade unions, recession is not just due to over-
generous employers, industry is crippled by
more than just incompetent managers, the
boom and bust of the housing market is due to
more than irresponsible borrowers and lend¬
ers. Government has a rote in all these, and its
policies towards them have economic
consequences.

Mrs Thatcher’s past promises and present
demeanour lead the public to expect her to
bring down inflation without preapitating a
severe recession or high unemployment She
and her ministers cannot start Naming
stagflation on employers and trade unions,
those fa miliar demons of Downing Street
speech-writers for decades past The cabinet
must use all the tools of monetary, fiscal credit
and exchange-rate policy which are at every
government's disposal, a full and rounded
armoury. Mr Major should have displayed it
last night

and the European Parliament They will be
invited to bathe in candyfloss.

They are more likely to do something
different spending most of their time deciding
whether they dare overrule their farm col¬
leagues for die sake of saving a crucial attempt
to increase world trade from collapse. The
Gatt's four-year Uruguay Round of negotia¬
tions to liberalise trade and lay down new and
binding rales for settling trade disputes is now
seriously imperilled. Success would, among
other things, open up trade in services, in
which EC businessmen have a deep interest
since services account for half the Commu¬
nity’s gross national product Time is running
out the deadline is December. Yet all this
week, Gatt delegates from 105 countries have
been twiddling their thumbs in Geneva,
because the EC missed last Monday’s deadline
for presenting its position.

The reason is that the EC governments have
not had the political guts to discipline their
farm ministers. These ministers have so far
reftised to endorse the Commission’s minimal¬
ist package for reducing farm price supports,
protectionism and export subsidies. Given the
risk of trade wars if these negotiations break
down, such latitude for agriculture, which
accounts for a mere 3 per cent of the ECs
GNP, is not just myopic, but blind folly.

Today the farm ministers meet for the third
time in less than a fortnight. The Commis¬
sion’s proposal for a 30 per cent cut in
subsidies already falls far short of a commit¬
ment to eliminate the market distortions of the
common agricultural policy. The Americans
are demanding 75 per cent cuts in price
supports and 90 per cent in export subsidies
within ten years. Others go still further.

So desperate is the Commission for min¬
isterial agreement that it is expected to sweeten
the pill still further with promises of a system

of cash compensation. Britain, which rightly
resists, will be offered the sop of “a fresh
approach” to the CAP, at some unspecified
future date. Even so, led by Germany’s Ignaz
Kiechle, the hardliners may still bold out.
Germany’s foreign minister, Hans-Dietrich
Genscber, whose awe of his farmers has been
magnified by next month's general election,
may insist on Monday that foreign ministers
pass the buck to the EC summit in Rome on
October 27. Gatt would have to wait.

The question posed by this farce is clean
how can the Twelve seriously dream of a
common foreign policy when for months they
have let the farm lobby sabotage the one
patently urgent foreign policy question on the
global agenda? The Italian presidency, sup¬
ported by France and Germany, argues that the
Community's bickering over the Gulf dem¬
onstrates not the pitfalls of a common foreign
policy, but the need for it The EC once needed
a common agricultural policy. It has one, the
policy is worse than useless and is well on the
way to collapse.

There is nothing abstract about the question.
The inter-governmental conference on pol¬
itical union starts in December. An Italian
discussion paper suggests that the Western
European Union should be “merged” into the
EC, creating the basis for a common defence
policy. Single EC forces would be deployed in
emergencies such as the Gulf (on recent
showing, none would be dispatched). Each EC
nation would agree to act only in ways
“consistent with the foreign and security
policies of the union”. For Italy's prime
minister, Giulio Andreotti, the logical con¬
sequence would be an EC permanent seat, with
veto power, on the United Nations Security
Council, replacing France and Britain.

How high a (nice in political paralysis should
be paid for “political union”? The same
paralysis that now afflicts agricultural union?
Britain has yet to set out its thinking on
political union. Neglect is not a policy. The
government must articulate its rumoured
scepticism, and should use the ECs indecision
on Gatt and aversion to free trade to bring its
European colleagues rudely to earth.

The problem lies elsewhere. To be of value,
penalties must work quickly. This is almost
impossible when dealing with house parties, or
people playing large stereo equipment too
loudly. The penalties must also be imposed.
The report proposes ways to ensure as far as
posable that nuisance laws are applied as
widely as posable. Car alarms, for example,
would have to cut out automatically after 30
seconds. Local authorities would be required
to cany out their responsibilities, providing
24-hour cover by environmental officers, and
not, as many do now, simply turning a deaf ear
to complaints.

But governmental solutions, whether nat¬
ional or local are not the only responses to
noise pollution. Individuals bear responsibility
too. Those who listen to personal stereos on
trains, for instance, should buy sets with less
leaky headphones. Car engines function worse,
not better, for excessive revving. Parents can
not only try to induce a respect for quiet in
their children, they can stop shouting in
restaurants themselves. For perfect silence, all
must wait for the tomb. But in a world that is
unavoidably noisy, there is a duty on us all to
be quiet That costs nothing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Roads damage to
prehistoric sites

From the President of the
Prehistoric Society
Sir, Your report (October 16) that
Cecil Parkinson has denounced
English Heritage for publishing
“an entirely speculative assess¬
ment” of the likely damage to
archaeological sites from new mad
schemes raises anew the question
of where responsibility lies for
rescue archaeology.

English Heritage's estimate that
over 800 known archaeological
sices are likely to be disturbed,
damaged or destroyed by the
Department ofTransport’s motor¬
way and trunk roads programme
is based on a detailed analysis pf
county sites and monuments
records and the Royal Com¬
mission on Historical Monu¬
ments' national archaeological
record as well as on case studies of
particular road schemes.

Independent archaeological op¬
inion, as represented by the Pre¬
historic Society (whose council
discussed the question yesterday)
believes that this seriously under¬
estimates the potential impact of
the roads programme on the
nation's archaeological heritage.
Indeed, where road routes have
been assessed in advance of
construction the density of sites
revealed has often surprised the
professional archaeologists them¬
selves. But, regardless of the
precise scale of the potential
impact, our concern is that ade¬
quate provision should be made
for archaeological assessment and
exploratory excavation, before the
exact routes of new roads are
decided, thus minimising both site
destruction and rescue costs.

The Department of Transport’s
present provision of £500.000 per
annum for rescue archaeology
arising from road development
demonstrates a welcome willing¬
ness to accept, in principle, some
responsibility for archaeological
investigations, but it fells far short
of the total needed just to assess,
and where necessary excavate, the
known sites likely to be affected by
the roads programme (a sum
which English Heritage estimates
at over £70 million).

Developers in the private sector
now commonly accept respon¬
sibility for a luge proportion of
the archaeological costs arising
from their projects. Surely the
Department of Transport should
do the same and increase very
substantially the proportion of the
road-development budget that is
provided for rescue archaeology?

If they do not, the price of road
development will indude the
destruction of many hundreds of
archaeological sites and the loss of
the knowledge of our past that
they can reveaL

Clergy’s right to freehold tenure

I wiQ not have the freehold. At no

Customer protection

From Mr James Woodward-Suit
Sir. Recent liquidations of com¬
panies selling goods and services
to the public have again raised the
vexed question of the protection
of customers* prepayments. The
present situation is long overdue
for reform; the consumer is re¬
garded as an unsecured creditor,
who in practice is unlikely to get
any refund of his money after the
preferential creditors have been
paid out

Our federation believes that
such prepayments should not be
used by traders to finance their
■ operations, but should by law be
lodged in a separate bank account,
and held there in trust for the
customer until the goods are
delivered. Such an account should
not be regarded as pan of the
assets of the company in the event
of an insolvency, and customers’
moneys could be returned.

Operation of prepayment ac¬
counts would be straightforward,
and likely to be cheaper than
bonding, as traders could gain
interest on the account and might
even be able to borrow against the
security of orders received.

The Office of Fair Trading in
their ream report on the carpet
and furniture trades suite that they
have been calling without result
for the industry .to introduce a
scheme for protection of prepay¬
ments since 1986. If traders will
not take action, they say. legisla¬
tion may be the only answer.

We believe that action is now
overdue, and that consumers
should no longer be subjected to
the unjustified and unnecessary
risk of losing their money in this
way.

Yours faithfully.

From the Reverend John

Wynbume

Sir, Proposals to abolish the
“parson's freehold" (report. Octo¬
ber 15) should proceed with
caution for three reasons. First it is
a domestic matter of church
reform that should be given a low
priority on our agenda at a time
when we seek a spiritual renewal
which is not mainly about struc¬
tures but about engaging with the
unbelief of the world and making
God real and findable in a nation
that has largely forgotten him.

Secondly, to appoint deegy on a
limited tenure and apply the same
criteria for effectiveness and
performance as those in secular
jobs is to seriously misunderstand
the vocation of ministry. The
model of ministry we need to
rediscover in our day is that of
servanthood but it must be afree
servanthood and not one that is in
any way inhibited by contractual
arrangements.

Thirdly, many people today
have lost the skills or have never
been given the example of bow to
sustain long-lasting relationships.
It is this witness to a life-long
commitment that is undermined
by putting ministry on a contrac¬
tual b&sisof limited tenure.

Yours sincerely,

From the Vicar, St Mark
Wimbledon Team Ministry
Sir, I read with interest your report
cm the move to end clergy freehold
and introduce fixed-term appoint¬
ments. 1 read with even more
interest the reported clergy con¬
cern that they might feel under
pressure to meet episcopal pres¬
sures rather than follow their
consciences.

Since ordination in 19781 have
had three appointments in South¬
wark. In none of them, two
curacies and one as team vicar,
have 1 had the so-called security of
freehold and in my new appoint¬
ment I am going to a parish with a
suspended benefice, so once again

stage have I ever felt insecure in
my home or constrained by my
bishops in what I say or do in my
minisuy.

No, air, I share the concern of
many flat the freehold is a
constraint on the Church’s mis¬
sion and should be removed as
soon as possible.

Yours,

From the Reverend John W.
Latham

Sir, The clergy freehold situation
is an anomaly when compared to
other professions. This is because
no such comparison can be made:
it is not, in theory, a paid
profession but a relationship (a
theory that is upheld by he or she
being paid a mere “stipend” of
£1.000. however much this has to
be incremented, for practical pur¬
poses, via the Church Commis¬
sioners).

There are, obviously, cases
where the relationship is not ail
that it should be; the fault can be
on either side, or on both. Yet
there are also situations where the
relationship is good but the results
(in terms of growth and output)
slight This could be because the
deric. however holy, is apparently
ineffective, and this, in turn, is
because he is a pastor and not an
evangelist or prophet

To alter the freehold situation
needs more consideration of the
whole question of whether there is
a threefold ministry of bishop,
priest and deacon, or a fourfold
ministry at each of those levels:
that of pastor or prophet or
teacher or evangelist and of how
long those various types of person
need to be in a parish for their
work to be truly effective. A pastor
cannot easily “wipe the dust off
his feet” as an evangelist can. lei
alone have it wiped off for him:
love constrains him to persist with
the relationship.

Yours sincerely,

J. W. LATHAM,

Europe’s countryside

From Mr Graham Wynne
Sir, European agriculture min¬
isters have again failed to agree the
fete of farm subsidies (report.
October 17). In their continuing
discussions ministers should not
underestimate the environmental
consequences of widespread And
indiscriminate cuts in farm sup¬
port. The new conception for the
common agricultural policy must
recognise the importance that
price policy has had in shaping
Europe's countryside.

Europe's countryside is largely
one of man-made features adapted
from former “natural" vegetation.
Fanning has a central and ir¬
replaceable role in maintaining
the countryside.

The CAP certainly has a poor
environmental record. By putting
a high price on certain food
products, some fanners have been
encouraged to intensify and bring
more land into production. This
has caused unprecedented des¬
truction of many.of Europe’s most
valued and threatened landscapes
and wildlife habitats.

But there is also another less
obvious and perhaps more serious
consequence of high prices and
over-production for some farmers.
Millions of Europe’s farmers have
been unable to benefit fully from

CAP support schemes because of
their scale, location or methods of
production.

For the uplands and marginal
areas of Europe, north and south,
the prospects under the single
European market of 1992 and
CAP price cuts are of increasing
redundancy and dependence on
income aids. • Abandonment of
traditional farming systems is
almost always harmful to the
environment.

There has to be a radical rethink
of CAP price policy. The Euro¬
pean Community has to develop a
price policy for agriculture which
is sensitive to environmental con¬
cerns. It should reward those
farms whose practices provide the
environment the public increas¬
ingly demand. Price support
should thus be conditional on
farmers demonstrating a benefit to
the countryside. This would de¬
flect the effects of price cuts away
from those farmers whose exis¬
tence is essentia] to maintain the
fabric of our countryside.

Pulling rank

From Mr Felix Barker
Sir, With the death of Irene
Setznick (Obituaries. October 12)
I fed free to relate a little anecdote
about ber which the Oliviers asked
me not to use when I was writing
their biography. Miss Sel^nick, a
zealous producer in defence of
playwrights, came into conflict
with Laurence Olivier when be
was directing Vivien' Leigh in A
Streetcar Named Desire in 1949.
She thought be was making too
many changes to Tennessee Wil¬
liams's script

During a h ealed argument a
member of Olivier’s staff took ber
to one side and said curtly: “You
should bear in mind that the
Oliviers arc the royal family of the
British stage.”

To this Irene Sebnick, whose
father was Louis B. Mayer, the
MGM Hollywood tycoon, made
the icy reply: “And may I remind
you that I am the daughter of the
emperor.”

Surely, I argued, Irene Selznick
would only be amused for the
dash of temperaments and her
remark to be recalled. “No, she
would not”, said Olivier.

I remain. Sir, yours faithfully,

Teaching standards

From Mr R. A. Philips
Sir, Mr Oit (October 15) ad¬
vocates the return to 1920s teach¬
ing methods. I suffer from
dyslexia, and was only diagnosed
as such at the age of 14.1 have no
doubts that had the standards of
the J92Qs been in force I would
have left school without a single
exam pass.

The fact that I now have a
degree in civil engineering and
have the confidence to write this
letter is due to modern teaching
methods, with a little, help from
the latest in word-processor tech¬
nology.

The world we now live in has
little room for human robots
capable of only performing mind¬
less, repetitive and menial tasks.
We have mechanical robots and
machines that invariably do the
job better and cheaper. However,
as yet there is no computer that
can reason in the same way'that
the human brain can. Should not
education be teaching our children
to think for themsoves and dis¬
cover why 12 x 12 = 144 .rather
than learning it as if it were some
abstract date in history?

Veterinary research

From Mr Roger R. Cook
Sir, The Science and Engineering
Research Council (report. October
2) has criticised the Government
for not spending enough on re¬
search. in animal medicine this
threatens to drive the remaining
activity overseas.

Under the doctrine of “fall
industry funding” this smaH in¬
dustry (annual turnover £170
million) is expected to find £2
million per year to fond the
licensing of products before they
are put on the market. The money
is partly raised through a tax on
company turnover (not profit) and
partly through fees on licence
applications. The Fee for a major
application is £12.00th the equiva¬

lent cost- in Belgium is £1.100, in
France £150 ana in Italy £45.

Over £500,000 is taken to
finance the EC requirement to
review pre-1984 product licences,
taxpayer-funded in every other
member state. The Spanish gov¬
ernment has allocated £2 minion
and a new department for its
review.The US Food and Drugs
Administration makes no charge
for licensing work, regarding it as a
public service which could be
compromised if industry money
was involved.

pean Community a system of
“mutual recognition” has been
proposed. Companies may be
tempted to carry out research and
initial licensing in more hospitable
member stales and. later on,
acquire British licences at a re¬
duced fee.

The latest fruits of veterinary
medical research, much of it now
carried out in company-sponsored
university departments, would re¬
ceive a further blow.

Education for
good eating

From Dr Brigid Allen
Sir, If the government is to
educate people to eat well and
healthily (Sir Francis Avery Jones,
October M), a special effort
should be made to reach younger
people, the main consumers of
“junk” food, whether out of
necessity, social conformism or
sheer ignorance of any palatable
alternative. One way of doing this
might be to introduce a broadly-
based food studies course into the
national curriculum , with the
object that it should transcend
national culture and unite several
disciplines.

It could include, for example,
food in history, together with a
study of scarcity and famine and
their natural and political causes
and consequences; ethnic and
religious food habits: wild foods
and the environment; govern¬
mental and supra-govemmental
food policies (e.g. the CAP) and
their results; nutrition and the
chemistry of food; and, of course,
cookery.

If taught properly, between the
ages of seven and 17, this might
encourage children to take an
unashamed interest in good food,
and might even help to undermine
the junk-food boom.

Ideally, too. we might perhaps
have a National Food Museum
and Archive, with displays not
only of national produce but of
most imported foods, showing
their historical provenance and

chang in g use.

In a country rich with exotic
imported foods and with the
immigrant cultures which go with
these, it is surely blind folly to
regard food as a subject unfit for
serious study except by those on
vocational courses for chefs, hotel
managers and dietitians.

Yours faithfully,

From Dr D. M. Conning
Sir, Ann Kent's article (“How
many food nan nies make a
healthy nation?”. October 11)
begins by stating a major fallacy,
namely that healthy eating means
lean meat, free-range eggs and
poultry and organic produce. Only
those with more money than sense
would adopt such criteria in
pursuit of health.

Healthy eating means good
nutrition. There is such a variety
of food available today, at a price
which is as low in relation lo
spending power as it has ever
been, that no one need doubt their
ability to achieve good nutrition,
provided they know what they are
doing.

The greatest impediment to
good nutrition is the welter of
misleading and over-simplified
messages foisted upon the public
by those with political ambition or
a journalistic career at stake, and
the inability of the consumer to
discriminate against false proph¬
ets. To claim that another layer of
bureaucratic control will improve
the consumer's choice of food is
simply silly.

Philip Larkin's will

From Mr John Whitehead
Sir. “Happily. Motion and his
fellow executors were able to
prevent the fulfilment of another
of Larkin's wishes, that all his
unpublished material be de¬
stroyed” (Diary. October 10).
Since when has the deliberate
flouting of their testator's wishes
by his executors been an occasion
for happiness rather than for
condemnation?

“They sought the advice of a
QC, who ruled that the clause in
Larkin's will was repugnant.”
Repugnant to whom or what? And
since when has a banister been in
a position to give a ruling, rather
than to express a personal opin¬
ion?

I have examined Larkin's will
and find the clause to be dear and
unartibiguous. It is not the clause
but the executors' decision to
disregard Larkin's instructions
which seems to me repugnant.
Yours faithfully.

Enterprise at 80

From Mr Don Mackridge
Sir, Your third leader on October
13, “The age that withers not”,
seems to be directed towards me
and 1 am not k>ih to respond at
once.

Last September on my 80th
birthday, at a public concert given
in this eity. Haydn. Mozart and
other quartets were played on
instruments 1 had made in my
79th and 80th years. Nothing very
remarkable about that (remember
Stradivari?) except that 1 had no
previous experience in the craft or
of any other craft no tuition, no
supervision, no help whatsoever.
All from two books.

I like to think that 1 created a
world record for achievement in
Old age. Could we hear of other
Grandma Moses exploits, if only
to counterbalance the noises being
made by the youthful enterprise
lobby?

Life begins at 80.

S?. She was bom in Esneux,
near Liege, Belgium, on May
2.1903.

NINETTE Jeanty, her hus¬
band Paul, a Brussels lawyer,
and their 16-year-old son,
Claude, were arrested by the
Gestapo in the summer of
1943 for harbouring an Eng¬
lish airman in their attic.
Claude was released but four
months later his parents faced
the Luftwaffe military court,
notorious for its severity and
for imposing the death
sentence.

An article in the German
criminal code staled that if
one member of a married
couple was found by the court
to be mentally unbalanced the
chances were high that the
other would escape the maxi¬
mum penalty. In prison,
Ninene Jeanty feigned mad¬
ness and eventually convinced
the military court of her
insanity. Her husband’s death
sentence was commuted and
he was deponed to Germany.
In May 1944 she was taken to
Dtiren asylum and committed
to the section for "almost
incurables”. In hideously
overcrowded wards the in¬
mates were treated as sub¬
human. Later the patients
were transferred to an asylum
in Bonn where the conditions
were even more appalling.
Ninette Jeanty confided the
story of her sham madness to
the director of the asylum, and

under his protection her situa¬
tion improved.

In the spring of 1945 she
was repatriated. After months
of uncertainty she discovered
that her husband had been.one
of 800 prisoners murdered by
the guards at Sonnenburg.
Gradually she realised that her
time in confinement had
given her a personal under¬
standing of human misery and
that neither revenge nor

bitterness would heal the
wound inflicted by Nazi
domination in Europe. “Now
was the time to re-build if
there was to be any future for
the world” she wrote.

One of her first steps was to
appear as a witness for the
defence in the trial of the man
who had betrayed her to the
Gestapo. Between 1946 and
1949 she returned many times
to Germany. At first she was

attached to the Judge Advocate
General’s department of the
War Office and was able to
intercede on behalf of some of
her former enemies. She then,
worked with the refugee sec¬
tion of the World Council o!
Churches and was particularly
involved with the refiigee vic¬
tims of the Potsdam agreement

After her return to Brussels
she visited and brought prac¬
tical help to imprisoned Bel¬
gian collaborators and
to Germans convicted of war
crimes. In 1951 she gave the
.first of her fomous craloqiues
— meetings attended by
distinguished figures held in
the spirit of- international
reconciliation. “What I am
trying to do is to pass love
on”, she said. The following
years were devoted to helping
intellectual refuged; and desti¬
tute students..-Her flat, in
Brussels, and later her home
in Cambridge, provided
"affection, clothes, food and
money” for innumerable dis¬
placed persons from all over
the world. This continued
until a year before her death.

During a television pro¬
gramme in June 1956, she met
Canon Charles Raven, a wid¬
ower and eminent tbeoldgian.
Six months later they married
and spent eight happy years
together until his death in
May 1964.

Ninette Jeanty Raven was
awarded the American Medal
of Freedom in 1947. Her book
Without Frontiers, was pub¬
lished in 1960. The BBC made
two feature programmes
based on her imprisonment
and her post war work. She is
survived by her son.

Memorial service

Major General Geoffrey
Burch, CB, who died on Octo¬
ber 13 at the age of 67, was
Deputy Master-General of
Ordnance. 1975-77. He »ms
bom on April29,1923.

GEOFFREY Burch was one
of the earliest and leading
exponents of Western Euro¬
pean collaboration in weapon
development and procure¬
ment He was a lieutenant-
colonel on the Master-General
of Ordnance's staff in 1967
when Denis Healey, as de¬
fence secretary, started his
drive to find collaborative
partners on the Continent to
reduce defence equipment
costs and to show that Britain
was becoming more European
despite General de Gaulle's
two vetoes on our entry into
the Common Market
Burch led the quest for
weapon projects in the field of
general artillery support weap¬
ons. His greatest success came
in the initiation of the Anglo-
German-Ilalian 155mm sys¬
tem of which he became the
project manager in 1968 dur¬
ing the feasibility study stages,
and went on as a brigadier to
be the programme director in
1970 for the actual dev¬
elopment of the towed FH70
155mm gun.

He had the unique gift of
being able to weld together a
highly individualistic inter¬
national team of weapons

experts with widely differing
backgrounds and modes of
thinking, each of whom was
intent on pressing his own
country’s requirements and
ideas, and on winning the
largest share in production
and sales benefits. The FH70
has proved an outstandingly
successful gun, which is now
in service with Nato forces
and is used throughout the
world, including Japan and
Saudi Arabia.

When he was due to take up
a brigadier's command
appointment, the German and
Italian authorities realised
that his departure would rob
the project of his guiding hand
at a critical stage. They asked
for him to be left with the
team for another 18 months to

initiate the feasibility studies
of the selfpropdled version of
the FH70. It was no fault of his
that this project eventually
foundered for financial rea¬
sons in the late 1980s.

Burch was the son of die
engineer Henry James Burch,
from whom be inherited his
technological bent He was
educated at Febsted School
and was commissioned into
the Royal Artillery in 1943.
He served with the 66th
Medium Regiment in the 8th
Army's Artillery (6th AGRA)
throughout the I talian cam¬
paign and first showed his
aptitude for artillery technol¬
ogy when he was posted as
instructor of gunneiy at the
School of Artillery at Deolahii
in India in 1946.

He became what the army
used to call a "double blue” —
a technical staff officer after
graduating from the Royal
Military College of Science in
1949and a general staff officer
after being a student at the
Staff College, Camberiey, in
1953 where he subsequently
became an instructor in 1959.
After commanding 19th (Gib¬
raltar) Battery equipped with
Honest John missiles in
BAOR, he spent a very happy
couple of years, 1965-67, in
command of the Flintshire
and Denbighshire Yeomanry

General of Ordnance's staff.

and cf fl r im g jq play his im¬
portant part in European
weapon collaboration.

Subsequently he held the
posts of Deputy Commandant
of the Royal Military College
of Science, Shrivenham, 1971-
3; Director-General of Weap¬
ons in the Ministry of Defence,
1973-5; and finally Deputy
Master-General of Ordnance,
1975-7. He was also a member
of the Royal Ordnance Fac¬
tories Board, 1975-7. .

Burch retired voluntarily in
1978 to become director of
management development in
CourtauWs, but he spent
increasing amounts dfbis time
as a consultant on European"
weapon procurement and hu¬
man resource management

He will be remembered in
Continental and American ar¬
mament circles fbrhis vitality,
enthusiasm and sense of hum¬
our as well as for his sharp
intellect, and above all for his
love of and ability to mix with
people regardless of -their
background. He was an all¬
round sportsman, being presi¬
dent of the Royal Artillery
cricket and squash dubs and
chairman of the National
Veterans Squash Rackets Oub
of Great Britain, 1978-84.

He married Jean Lowrie

(the 372nd Field Regiment .Fyfe in 1948. She survives.

Kenneth WiUiam Cross,
Emeritus Professor of Physiol-'
ogy. London.Hospital Medical
College, died on October 10
aged 74. He wws born on
March 26.1916. ~

KENNETH Cross was a
distinguished member of tire
group of British physiologists
and clinicians who in 1959
founded the Neo-Natal Soci¬
ety for the study of the
peculiar physiology of the
new-born. Thus was provided
the intellectual background
which'the modem

has developed and which has
rontriboud-io the decline in
perinatal mortality to mini¬
mal levels ova: the past
quarter-centuzy. ■

Cross, who was-at (me time
president of the society, went
to St Paul's School and was a
product of the St Mary’s
Hospital Medical School
under Lord Moran's deanship.
He began his professional
career as sr physician, passing
the then very clinical .examin¬
ation for membership of the
Royal College of Physicians
within two years of qualifica¬
tion. But after two years'
service with theFriends’ Am¬
bulance Unit under difficult
conditions in China from
1946 to 1947 he returned to St
Mary's as a lecturer in physiol¬
ogy, being promoted to reader
six years later and moving on
to the chair ai the. London
Hospital in I960, where he
remained until retirement At
St Mary's Cross developed
methods for the accurate and
noitinvasive measurement of
oxygen consumption in new¬
born intents using, the in-
ukwsly designed so-called
oss Box. With a series of
research assistants, many of
them paediatricians, seeking a
training in science, he earned
out seminal studies on the
relation between metabolic
rate and ambient temperature
—essential information for the
rational use of the incubator in
caring for premature , babies.
His- subsequent work con¬
cerned particularly cerebral
blood flow, the role of the
brain in generating heat and of
the. scalp and race in - its
dissipation. Then, during a
sabbatical year with his friend
Dr Julius Comroe in Ban

LORD SWANN

Professors Gajendra Verna
and Sally Tomtituon write:

IT HAS been little noted that
Michael Swann (obituary
September .24) was. drarnnaa
from 1981 to 1985 of the
committee ofinquuy into the
education of children from
ethnic minority groups. As
chairman he had to deal with
an extremely heterogeneous
group of widely varying ideo¬
logical and professional orien¬
tations. It was his deter¬
mination and courage that
brought the committee’s work
to a successfiil.condusion.He.
was able to handle controver¬
sial issues with great care,
courage and sensitivity^' It is a
rare combination of human
personality to be both bold
and sensitive.

The Swann., report which
appeared iit March 1985 is the
most radical educational re¬
port so ter produced in
Bri tain. Its basic philosophy is
good and relevant edu¬

cation for all” — one that is
humane and fair. It has im¬
plications not only for British
society but advocates a global
perspective ...

. His work in this field was,
indeed, recognised across the
world and led to an inter¬
national group of scholars
contributing original papers
which were dedicated to him
and published under the title
. of Education for Alb A Land¬
mark in Pluralism.

Michael had a sound under¬
standing of the workings of
government and civil' service
allied to a strong political
awareness. His was an open,
inquiring and flexible ap¬
proach to life but relentless in
pursuit of increased under¬
standing of the wodd around
him. It is our belief that many,
who may not ever know his
name, will have cause to be
grateful for his work on their
behalf in his pursuit of a feircr.
juster society.

Liuiu in copper mine
discovered in Wales

Bv Norm an Hammond, archaeology correspondent

DRAMATIC evidence of an¬
cient copper mining has been
uncovered in central Wales,
including hammersioncs for
detaching the ore and what
may be the remains of a
ladder. Charcoal and ash
prove that fircsctting was used
to crack the bedrock, and will
enable precise radio-carbon
dates to be obtained for the
mine, which may have origi¬
nated in 1700 BC.

The discoveries have come
towards the end of an excava¬
tion season high on a hillside
in the Ystwyih valley, on the
appropriately-named Copa
Hill overlooking the remains
of more recent lead-mining
operations. The cave-iike gal¬
lery’ uncovered earlier by Si¬
mon Timberlake and his leam
(The Times, August 20 1990)
proved to be only a shon
tunnel into the copper vein,
Mr Timberlake said.

"The miners had only re¬
moved pockets of material,
presumably the copper min¬

erals. and there were many
examples of stone tool work¬
ing." he said. "On the floor of
the 'cave' a peat deposit had
formed, mainly from washed-
in wood fragments and a thick
layer of leaves, which are
beautifully preserved.”

The end of □ cut wooden
slake was found within the
peat, and below iL on ihe floor
of the gallery, Mr Timber-
lake's team found a number of
hammersioncs. made with
notches to tic them into
wooden handles, enabling the
ore to be attacked with a
chopping sLroke.

In the mine debris of an
opencast area next to the
gallery they found "the virtu¬
ally deteriorated remains of
what seems to be a ladder,
very primitive in construction
and standing against the rock
lace." Mr Timberlake said.
j he wood had certainly been
tooled, and many other frag¬
ments of worked wood were
also found.

' especially oftris research assis¬
tants whom he nursed along
' devotedly — and above all in
his care of the babies which he
studied and their mothers. His
philosophy was summed up in
his Bertram Louis Abrahams
lecture to the Royal College of
Physicians in 1974 entitled
“Investigating the newborn
intent:. the ethical imper¬
atives.” Fbr-his.contribution
to the scientific basis of
paediatrics he was awarded
the James Spence medal the
highest distinction of the Brit¬
ish Paediatric Association.

His relations with senior
colleagues were not consis¬
tently respectful, and it was
remarked that when the head
of his department retired he
trussed him as a needed fail
for his somewhat robust sense
of humour — yet the same
professor, when elected to die
Royal Society, attributed the
-honour to the work of his
subordinates and to that of
Gross in particular. After his
retirement Cross became
something of a recluse, though
he continued to attend Amo¬
tions that he regarded as
important such as meetings of
teamed societies or lectures on
subjects in his field or given by
his friends. Never a redly
contented man, he was Messed
in iris second marriage, to Dr
Sheila Lewis, herself a consul¬
tant paediatrician, with the
companionship of someone
who understood and appre¬
ciated his complex personality
arid intellect. Her own
equanimity complemented
his tendency to depression. He
has left his friends the poorer
for his passing and the world
richer for his contributions to
knowledge.

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 1990

Life and Times

A sound system
for keeping quiet

JUUM HERBERT

There’s a kind of hush all over Scotland,
thanks to a way of dealing with noise
' that could see a stereo in the dock

W hile Chris Patten, the
environment secretary,
nurses an incipient head¬
ache over the latest recommenda¬
tion on noise control, published
yesterfay, the Scots are sleeping
pcnoefully in their beck, enjoying
the quiet life and clocking up 60
per cent fewer noise complaints
than the rest of the UK.

Id Scotland the racket from a
neighbour’s wild party may be
brought to a sudden, blissfully
peaceful end when the police
ippliQ* the stereo and take it away
for evidence. So, if you don’t want
your CD player or too-Ioud tuba
to become Exhibit A it is wise to
put a sock in it “when required to
do so by a uniformed constable”.

Police powers to put a stop to
noisy music are tucked away in a
piece of uniquely Scottish legisla¬
tion, the Civic Government (Scot¬
land) Act 1982, which tidied up a
ragbag of regulations covering
everything from selling second
hand clothes to controlling sex
slums. Section 54 of the act
protects Scots in their own homes
and in public places from un¬
reasonably loud music and carries
a fine of up to

£50. The police -

are at pains to ,

point out that There

they are any- „^

thing but party VlDHitlDg

poopers. “We victim Ol

always give victim UJ

people a chance machine
to turn the , ,

music down,” CVClej the

one officer says. • ,

“Often the host SIX COCK6;

will ask us in « nn : cv

for a wee drink, HOlSy CIS

but they should urac tn
realise that it’s Wa ® lB

no joke and pension

usually things ,

calm down ilC&Ti

quite quickly.

And, if all else -

fails and we

have to charge them under Section
54, the record player or whatever
is evidence, so we have to take it
with us.” Simple. The prospect of
three months (the approximate
time it takes a case to come to
court in Scotland) without a stereo
might prove more of a deterrent
for some than the £50 One.

But the one-off racket is only
pail of the din of modem life
which Mr Patten's department is
seeking to quelL He might do well
to look to Edinburgh, where a
hush is descending over the city
thanks to the effort of the local
authority’s team of noise abate¬
ment experts.

John Stirling, the deputy direc¬
tor of environmental health in
Edinburgh, has four officers solely
dedicated to the pursuit and
elimination of noise. They work
on the principle that, at least in
your own home, you are entitled
to absolute silence. “We operate to
what are known as the criteria of

inaudibility, while most English
authorities use a standard which
allows some level of noise,” Mr
Stilling says. “However, we have
been doing some missionary work
on this with English authorities,
and some are seeing the light.”
Wider powers, tougher rules on
sound insulation and wor king
closely with the planning au¬
thority to prevent noise nuisance
are some of the other reasons why
Scotland is winning the noise war.

Regular night duties for Mr
Stirling’s officers take them into
the living room of the deafened
and despairing: a retired colonel
who could follow video films
playing in the hotel next door; a
fish breeder whose tropical stock
vibrated to the thrum of the pub
jukebox downstairs; a woman who
could fill out a bingo card as the
numbers were called in the neigh¬
bouring working men's club.
However, noisy sound systems
make up about a third of the
workload, which last year totalled
548 noise complaints.

But does not Edinburgh’s tour¬
ist trail along the Royal Mile leak
music out of every tartan-draped
doorway? What

Take the shop
with the faulty burglar alarm
which went off by mistake so
many times that the neighbours
tired of calling the police. When
the alarm was set off by the fire
sprinklers, the place was flooded.

But it is not just the big noises
that lead to the noise team being
called in. There was the vibrating
sideboard, for example, victim of
a washing machine on fast spin
cycle; the dawn crowing of six
French cockerels and the “noisy
cistern” which was traced to a
pensioner’s faulty hearing aid.

In London, the environment
department has its own problems.
A call to its office this week

Home from boarder country

C aroline Whitlock’s last
sight of Georgina, her
eight-year-old daughter,
before she departed for
her first term at a Buckingham¬
shire prep school, was of “a very
red face looking out of the window
while her elder sister was waving a
box of tissues reassuringly” De¬
spite their agreement that “she
wouldn’t cry when she left”,
Georgina, like many young board¬
ers before her, arrived at her
school in tears.

Will she return home this
weekend a more self-assured and
independent creature and, if she
does, will her mother be pleased?
As half-term looms, anxious par¬
ents throughout the country are
viewing the return of their board¬
ing-school children with a mixture
of excitement and apprehension.

When Philippa Brooks's eight-
year-old son, Tom, returned from
his Berkshire boarding prep for his
first exeat (long weekend), he was
as self-contained as his mother
bad been over a telephone call
from the school's matron, two
weeks into term, to say that Tom
had fallen out of a tree (“My first
reaction, was to dash down there,
but as he was reportedly fine and
enjoying being the centre of
attention, I very stoically stayed
•put”). Mrs Brooks say she ex¬
pected boarding to make her son
more independent, “but it's still
another thing to face it. I sensed a

slight distance between us and a
lad: of openness on his part,
although my husband thought I'd
imagined this. Occasionally 1 gel
concerned about producing one
more generation of stiffiupper-
lipped schoolboys, but one hopes
the good things will rub off too.”

Mrs Brooks says she is thrilled
by her son's increased confidence
—and tidiness. “I couldn't believe
it when I went up to his room and
found his clothes hung beautifully
on a hanger. Even his father
doesn’t always do that.” But she is
slightly nonplussed by the rapidity
of the transformation: “You do
hear people say that new boarders

that fast.”

Some parents are more con¬
cerned about parting than board¬
ing-school etiquette would deem
reasonable. Joan Douglas, the 47-
year-old house mother at
Queenswood girls' school in
Hertfordshire, recently comforted
one tearful mother. “She kept
telling her daughter *You don’t
have to stay if you don’t want’
even though the 11-year-old was
reasonably happy about doing so.
Even now, this mother is still
waiting in England to be dose to
her child rather than return to her
home abroad.”

At Queenswood, the complex
process of settling in to school life
involves housework alongside
more academic subjects. Mrs
Douglas says she is amazed by the
number of new girls who have
never lifted a duster before.
“Some tittle girls are appalled to
find themselves on bade stairs
duty, brushing the steps down, but
they all get used to it.”

Doubtless, vigorous vacuuming
helps dispel homesickness which,
Mrs Douglas adds, is perfectly
normal: “At the beginning of term
I had two little girls sobbing over a
box of tissues on my knees. One
kept clutching a pencil case and
saying, ‘My mummy gave me
this', as though it were her only
memento of borne. Now those

little girls are perfectly happy. It's
simply a matter of time.”

Jenny Barker has .five sons
passing through the boarding
school system. “It may sound
awful but I don't mind them being
away,” she says. “I like the
independence they come back
with. Nevertheless, there are times
when 1 have to swallow hard.
When my first son, • James,
boarded at the age of ten, my
mother said to me:‘Of course, you
realise he's left home now*, and it's
true. I got quite upset when one of
my boys, Oliver, signed his first
letter home with his surname.”

Among tbe changes in . her sons,
Mrs Barker has noticed a curious

mixture of selfishness and kind.

ness. “At boarding school, they
think only of themselves and not
of their brothers. They become
quite self-orientated, and when
home, tend to assume each is the
prodigal son and that everyone
should do what be wants. At the
other extreme, my son Tom —
who's just gone to Stowe —
remembered his grandmother’s
birthday the other week, which is
quite unusuaL Family means
more when you're absent” So do
material po&essioiis: Mrs Barker’s
eldest son has had a lock installed
on his bedroom door to deter his
younger brothers from coming in
during his absence.

Short breaks — Eke half term
and exeats — are often more
disorientating than long holidays.
Mrs Barker's boys often refuse to
shed their uniform on returning
home, saying it’s not worth it as

they have to return in 22 hours, 12
minutes and 22 seconds. “At the
end of a long holiday, they never
pack their trunks until the last
minute. But when they're at
sdiool they love it Children are
like elastic the more you stretch
them, tbe more they come back.”

Mrs Whitlock believes that a
short break home is not always
tong enough for her to re-establish
a rapport.with her children. “I
have to drag school events out of
Georgina and then, eventually, am
treated to a long story in double
Dutch. There’s no doubt that yon
are divorced from their lives
because you don't really know
what they are doing away. It
doesn’t upset me^ too much
because I've had time to prepare
myself boarding school was al¬
ways on the cards.”

Her younger dataller’s first
exeat- has ^already indicated-
character chang es. “ She was al¬
ways quiet bat now will talk to
guests at the table which, before,
was a big ‘do do*. She also has to
make her own top bank at school
so tackles her bed at home, after a
fashion. My eldest daighter, Vic¬
toria, was a little scatter-brain
when she first boarded, but will
now put her clothes on a chair at
night for at least the first ten days •
ofa holiday.”

At Port Regis in Dorset—where
Peter Phillips, die Princess
Royal's son, is a boarder — Selina •
Deacon, a housemother, says she
sees a greater appreciation of
home when pupils return from ’
holidays. “Chi the other hand,
some mothere are saddened by the
sudden independence their child-.
ten acquire. I see a complete
transformation during* the first
fortnight of arrival,” Mrs Deacon
says. “By then, they’ve learnt to
change clothes three times a day
and find out where they're going.
They have an air of confidence
about them resulting from chal¬
lenges they’ve had to meet.” Such
chall e ng e s include changing duvet
covers once a week: “It’s a
nightmare when they first arrive.”

David Pritchard, -the head¬
master at Port Regis, who
describes himself as father of 283
offspring, also feels for parents
who are bowled over by their
children's rapid maturity. “I had
one distressed mother last Sat¬
urday -whose only child didn’t
want to go home for the
weekend.”

Weekly boarders will already
have been home since the start of
term. But Diana West, -whose
nine-year-old daughter, Katrina, is
. a weekly girl at a prep school near
Rugby, says it can take time for
both parents and child to adapt to
one set of rules from Monday to
Friday and another during week-
aids and holidays. “Katrina gets
confused about what she can or
can't do at home and might be
surprised ff say. give her a drink
of orange when she’s used to water
at school.” ■ -

■ When her daughter first
boarded ayear ago, Mrs West says
she steeled herself not to ring the
matron until the third day of term.
“She was a bit upset when I left so
I wanted to give her time to adjust.
After that, I didn't ring again.”
Bat any hiccups, Mrs West says,
are easily outweighed by her
daughter’s greater sophistication,
both in demeanour and vocabu¬
lary. although this new maturity
also saddens her. “One is always a
bit reluctant to realise they can do
without you. Consequently, I tend
to give her tittle treats when she’s
back, like taking her on shopping
trips. I suppose one isn’t entirely
natural during these visits: 1 often
start off by being overly nice."

As half-term ends, there will be
the inevitable doom and gloom
that Mrs West sees every Sunday
night — despite Katrina “loving”
school: “There’s a sudden de¬
pression around tea time. I try to
be brisk and jolly: luckily' she
usually cheers up' during the
hour's drive back to schooL When
we get there, Katrina’s happy
again, but it is rather strange
driving home without her."

look elsewhere. "This book is
about shaktU women power, the
strength that Asian women have
to offer.” Mrs Gifford says. These
are accounts of women who shine
with success. The net is spread
wide: the first Asian bunny girl is
here, as is the world’s fastest men¬
tal arithmetician. There are law¬
yers. doctors, writers and actresses.
None has stood on the sidelines
bemoaning her status as a for¬
eigner, none has been deflected by
racism or sexism. Most have sim¬
ply ignored prejudice.

“I didn't stop to look for dis¬
crimination,” says Jyoti Munsiff
the senior legal adviser at Shell
When that company employed her
21 years ago, she was the fim
woman in its legal department
“Perhaps I was naive, I do have
this optimism about the British. In'
many ways while they are one-of
the most racist societies, they are
also one of the most just And
India itself can beso segregatiooaL
This image of Asian women being
docile is as much an Asian concept
as a western one.”

Many of Britain’s most successful Asian
women have little time for feminism

Such persistent belief in the
docility and pliability of Asian
females can be tailored to their ad¬
vantage. “If my colleagues have
given me support, it’s because if
you behave like a lady, men be¬
have tike gentlemen,” Ms Munsiff
rays. “They listen to what you say
and don't feel threatened.”

She and Ms Hollis are not the
only ones to deny feminism. For
many of these

women, the
word has over¬
tones of an
alien stridency.
“I believe in tbe
equality of all
human beings
and to focus on
one particular
problem i$ not
necessarily bal¬
anced," Ms
Munsiff says. “I
am worried
about women
who carry
heavy burdens
and have no say
in ’ their lives.
That worries
me more than

Kim Hollis:

the things western women work
themselves up about.”

Mrs Gifford disagrees. “One of
the things 1 wanted to say. in the
book is that while western women
have certain images of us, we also
stereotype them, i mean we think
of feminists as women in dunga¬
rees, wearing-CND badges and
shouting all tbe time’— we fall into
exactly the same trap. I am defin¬
itely feminist, I think it's poss¬

ible to be feminist and feminine.”

Whether or not the word femi¬
nist is applied, achievement is
considered possible because of—
not in spite of — traditional qualit¬
ies. “Because we are possibly more
thoughtful, less abrasive and ag¬
gressive,” says Sfayama Pe rera, a
television presenter for BBCs
Network East "we will get there in
a far more subtle and possibly sat¬
isfactory way."
Tbe strength
.of Asian
women is often
derived from
the greater so¬
cial freedom of
exile. When
Shiriey Daniel,
the only Asian
'woman head¬
mistress of a
1 mixed compre¬
hensive school
in' rBritaih, re¬
turned to India
in 1969 after
. some years in
Scotland, she
. was unable to

no reunite get ajeadiir^

- job because she
was divorced. “Iridia rejected me
then so l feel my loyalty is to
Britain. I got my chances here.
There was blatant racism at first
and, as a woman, you've got a
double fight oil your hands. But if
you can deliver the goods in
Britain then the message goes
round and you’ll succeed.

“And Asian women get on and :
do the job.*' •

“I wouldn’t dare-go to India

right now,” admits Katy Mirza,
who is due to become a single
mother next - spring. The first
Asian bunny girl is not averse to
taboo-storming, but feels the sub¬
continent is unprepared for single
parenthood. “I haven’t met any
man yet who will accept me for
what I am —a happy blend'of East
and West 1 want to raise my son
with that special balance. For me
the whole world is equal, so
because 1 project that image I have
no racism. Sexism and racism are
two items that you can attract to
yourself through the wrong image
you give out to other-people.”

Not all the women are starry-
eyed. “Maybe it’s a mistake to
highlight those who haven’t exper¬
ienced prejudice,” observes Ms
Munsiff uneasily. "For every one
of us,” says . Natasha Bijlani. a
doctor al St-Bartholomew's Hos¬
pital, “there are probably a hun¬
dred. out there living lives of
subjugation.”

But positive discrimination, it is
agreed, is not the way forward. “1
don’t think in British society it’s
necessary,” Ms Daniel says. “If
there are impediments, there is
also the system to fight them.” “It’s
. death,” agrees Ms Munsiff “Yon
feed prejudices by introducing
positive discrimination, I‘d rather
if took 20 years longer so dial
there is no trace of iL It gives
people die accuse, before they've
even tested you, of denigrating'
you, and thaf s the end.”

Jewish seeing or

Four shows which pose questions on the nature of Jewishness, and a
young abstract painter whose early success reflects his conservatism

itaj makes ' a useful
distinction; he is in¬
terested, he says, in
Jewishness rather than
Judaism. This idea runs
through most of the Barbican Art
Gallery show; Chagall to Kitaj:
Jevrish Experience in 20th Century
Art The questions posed are: how ■
does mi artist's Jewishness mani¬
fest itself? Should it nebwsarily be
m an i fe st at afl? Is there* anything •
wrong with a Jewish-painter if his
work does not look Jewish? Is
“looking Jewish" a matter of
subject-matter or style? ••

In a : laige show, occupying both
floors of the gallery and returning
the abortive sculpture -court- out-,
side to its original purpose, there is
virtually no make-weight, and little
that seems to be there just to make
a political, social or religious point
(although, of course, the very feet
that the Barbican's “Israel: State of
the Art” festival is overwhelmingly ■
concerned with Jewish art is a
polilical'poinO. The variety of art
on view is impressive, and so, more
subtly, is hs consistency. There is
also the photography show, Is¬
rael—The Stormy Years, in the
Concourse Gallery.

Chagall to Kitty is not primarily ,
about Israeli art. Even those artists
who count as Israeli come from
extremely varied backgrounds. In¬
evitably the foster-culture rubs off.

A Uthuanian/Brazilian artist such
as Lasar Segall is bound to be
-different from the Italian/French
Modigliani The fascination lies in
noting ihedifierences yel recognis¬
ing family resemblances.

But the status of Judaic subject-
matter is a recurrent problem. Of

course as artist who frequently
paints synagogue scenes or the
Yiddish theatre is immediately
proclaiming Jewishness. But where
does that leave Modigliani? There
is no way of knowing from the
nodes and portraits in this show
that Modigliani was Jewish.

* Perhaps Modigliani is included
only because be is such a feather in
the cap of Jewish art. Elsewhere,
Judaic subject-matter seems to be
desirable to ensure inclusion.
Bombers and GenJer are there, but
not Meninsky. who never painted
an overtly Jewish picture. Lasar
Segall is in, but not Arthur Segal.

Curiously, some of the earliest
pictures here are relatively non¬
committal: even when the subjects
are clearly drawn from Jewish life,
the late 19th-century international
style evades definition. But then, a
predisposition to the kind of
turbulent emotion and strong col¬
ours normally labelled Expression¬
ism comes into play. Though the
German Expressionists numbered
few Jews in their ranks, Russian '

Expressionism was largely a Jewish
invention. The way it developed,
through the study of Jewish folk
and primitive art, is dearly shown
here, providing a background to
Chagall, Soutine and Lissitsky.

The most interesting early Israeli
artist, Reuven Rubin, wrth bis
elegant, slightly Deco figure com¬
positions, is not touched with
Expressionism at all, being as cool
and stylish as Modigliani.

forefront

Inevitably, the Holocaust makes
its appearance, but it is tucked
away in the middle of the show,
and the organisers seem almost to
have found it an embarrassment
The prime emphasis is on the
authentic Israeli ethos of dyna¬
mism, even aggression, and a
positive approach to the fiiture. By
and large, the show is remarkably
cheery. The Neue Sachlichkeii self-
portraits of Felix Nussbaum, who
perished in a concentration camp,
totally reject pathos, even when he
depicts himself with a yellow star
and a Jewish identity card in 1943.

porated, may be sinister, but they
are not depressive.

The show does not attempt to
answer the question of whether the
existence of Israel and its thriving
national school makes Jewish art

more Jewish or less. In fact, it is has to be Jewish. Might the
hard to isolate arything in ihe work indefinably Jewish quality in ear-
of the younger Israelis ai the lier work come from a yearning for
Barbican, or for that matter of the the lost homeland?

Five Artists from Israel showing at

Pomeroy Purdy, which positively JOHN RUSSELL TAYLOR

New star’s course seems all too predictable

CRiTfC’S CHOICE: GALLERIES

A new star has been
hailed. The 24-year-old
Ian Davenport has an
exhibition at Waddingion’s.
The catalogue introduction by
Norman Rosenthal, the Royal
Academy's exhibition sec¬
retary, is a finely executed
clarion call to the art establish¬
ment faithful. Yet the paint¬
ings are predictable; almost as
though they have been de¬
signed by - a committee of
critics yearning for the return
of the.days.wben they used to
tell artists how to paint.

- Davenport drips emulsion
house paint from the top to
the bottom of the canvas and
sometimes horizontally across
it. The results could be
described in ait-speak as an
extension of Greenberg's the¬
ories that led from Abstract
Expressionism to Post-Paint¬

erly Abstraction and Min¬
imalism. The artist has
produced an ideal Modernist
solution. By using a
robotically repetitive tech¬
nique and mundane materials
there is not the tiniest hint of
illustration. The method of
production allows for an ele¬
ment of randomness and a
touch of seduction.

Davenport has been taught
to be oblique. He graduated
two years ago from Gold¬
smiths’ College, which has
made a virtue of being in¬
direct, circuitous and margin¬
ally, devious. Dishonest? No,
but a certain pleasure is taken
in the thinness of the border¬
lines. Other graduates, several
of whom also showed at The
British Art Show earlier this
year, have not been able to
maintain the tension. The

current exhibition certainly
proves that Davenport has a
fine sense of balance and an
understanding of the way we
take or avoid decisions today.
The mandarins of the an
world are not the only people
vulnerable to presentations
that display brilliant market
analysis, good packaging, but
little content.

Such accusations probably
will not worry Davenport's
many champions. They are
likely to be more concerned
with the cracks running down
“Untitled Matt Black and
Gloss Black", 1990. The use of
house paint was intended to
add to the smooth efficiency
of production, but the cracks
throw even the research and
presentation into question.

Lance Smith is 16 years
older than Davenport, but has

already received far more
attention than most “young"
artists. His present show, at
the Blason, a new Spanish-run
Gallery near Vauxhall Bridge,
is probably his strongest.

There are virtually no signs
of the figure in Smith's latest
paintings, though there are
references to human presence.
This has helped give his work
a new coherence. There has
always been an awkwardness
in his work, but it has often
appeared too contrived.
“Fall”, 1988, for instance,
may not yet have the con¬
trolled impact of a Motherwell
or the vigour of a Schnabel,
but there is a sense of new
purpose.

A distinguished gallery goer
often growls through his beard
that, “one only finds one good
painting in every ten thou¬

sand”. It doesn't stop him
visiting every new show with
enthusiasm. Neither of these
two exhibitions are likely to
amend these cruel averages,
but they provide their own
rewards. Ai first sight Daven¬
port's work could be that of a
grand old master of seventy or
eighty at the end of his career;
it appears so highly finished.
Smith, on the oiher hand is
volatile and the work shows it.

which Simon himself must

Paul Simon: The Rhythm of
foe Saints (Warner Bros WX
340C)

Simon has attempted the
same inck wuh Brazilian
music. Bui despite the blanket
chat show, press and even
news coverage that the project
has attracted, the results are,
perhaps inevitably, rather less
startling this time around.

Much of the music is based
on the glorious interlocking
waves of percussion provided
by the indigenous Brazilian
groups Olodun (a 14-piece
drum troupe) and UAKTI
(classically trained musicians
using percussion instruments
mack out of industrial piping
and the like).

“The Obvious Child”
romps along to an insistent
side-drum shuffle that sounds
almost like a marching band
in places, while “Further to
Fly" proceeds in a more
languid but no less insistent
vein with the beat switching
on and off a jazzy samba

groove. “She Moves On" has a
dark, tropical feel, with an
especially nch percussive mix
oiled by deep, sensual plunges
of the bass line.

^ eL unlike the smooth inte¬
gration of musical cultures
which distinguished Owe-
land . Simon's guitat and vocal
pans initially seem too obvi¬
ously grafted on top of these
pulsating foundations. The
melodies bed in after repeated
listenings, but still lack some
of the charm of his previous
work.

“Can't Run But”, a ghostly
refrain built around a bare¬
boned tuned percussion motif,
sounds like an out-take from
the last Sting album, and
“Bom at the Right Time” has
a nagging pop chorus of
limited appeal.

But if the spoils of his latest
cross-cultural excursion now
seem relatively commonplace,
it is only because Simon is a
victim of his own outstanding
achievements.

Tales with heart of granite

CUVE BARBA

The Vanishing
Bridegroom

Theatre Royal, Glasgow

TO SAY that Judith Weir has
done it again would be wrong,
except that what she has done
again is achieved something quite
different: a piece denser and more
monumental than A A tight at the
Chinese Opera, with more of the
Scottish mist and cold and granite,
and less of the oriental charm and
irony.

The three linked stories of The
Vanishing Bridegroom, commis¬
sioned by Scottish Opera, are all
tales of experience won in a pretty
dour fashion, and Weir's respect¬
ing of the symmetries of her folk
sources gives them a dread in¬
evitability. At the same time, her
objectivity takes on a more com¬
plex function, since what the
central characters learn — and. in
the case of the reappearing bride¬
groom of the middle story, begin
to express — they grasp against the
grain of a score as unyielding as
the moumainscape of Richard
Hudson's excellently apt set.

Weir's people have to exist in a
musical world which tries to deny
the existence of messy individual
psychology: a world of pattern and
precision. Opera comes about as
they and she learn to live with
each other.

The first story, which seemed
pretty black and clamorous at the
lime, full of men's voices and the
gust of Hebridean psalm singing,
turns out in retrospect to have
been the comedy: a nice play
within a play within a play, in

Warriors in
a Wasteland
New End

THE army in which these warriors
serve is that of London's young
homeless, and it is over 150.000
strong. The author. Richard Ed¬
munds. knows the battlefield well,
having worked both for the Short
Stay Young Homeless Project and
as resettlement otTicer for the
.Alone in London service.

Initial prospects seem to be for
an evening of earnest harangue
rather than dramatic conflict, as
Stella Tanner's genteel, put-upon
social worker speaks — ostensibly
on the telephone to the DHSS. but
in fact to the audience - present¬
ing the facts on homelessness. Her
confrontation with Hutchins, an
unbending charity director from
whom she is seeking funds tan
amusing cameo of beaky rectitude
from Roben James) adds humour,
but not of the searching kind; he is
a caricature, not a character.

The whole tenor of the evening
is changed by the entrance of
Catherine Clarke's Debbie, a IV-
year-old client of Sheila's who is
about to be rewarded for her
fighting spirit by transfer from a

which a crime is solved and a
woman gets married against her
will, the pawn of every' man in

sight.

Then comes the lyrical inter¬
lude. in a treatment of the
widespread legend of the young
man seduced into spending years
with the fairies, represented "here
by rapturous siren song for the
chorus in Gaelic: Weir's orchestra¬
tion here, too, is totally magical.
Finally comes the most formal tale
of the lot with a repeat-structure
musical momentum to push for¬
ward a game of riddles in which a
girl outwits the devil. Here per¬
haps — though this is suggested
more by Weir's programme note
than by the story — is the begin¬
ning of female liberation, some¬
thing again that has to be prised
out of the hard texture of Scottish
mythology.

The cast and chorus are thor¬
oughly strong and well prepared.
One mark of their quality, and of
the judiciousness of Weir's scor¬
ing. is that nearly every word is
audible; another is the lucidity
with which the opera is displayed
as a splendid ensemble piece, one
in which small contributions from
the Brothers and the Robbers in
the first act arc decisive. Typically,
Weir makes no empty gestures,
whether in the vocal writing or in
the harshnesses, clangs and deli¬
cacies of her orchestral machinery,
most of which, under Alan Hack¬
er's direction, is securely in place
and constantly surprising and
beautiful.

Among the principals. Peter
Snipp has what might be termed
the title role, and lends it a very
fine, fresh and sensitive youthful
baritone; this is a wholly engaging
performance. So is that of Virginia

Other People's Money
Lvric

TIME was when villains tied
maidens to railway tracks or
stormed into town to shoot the
sheriff and rob the bonk. Now¬
adays they have neither mous-
tachios to twirl nor horses to ride
and. if armed with anything, it is
with a lot of venture capital and a
sly grasp of corporate law. At any
rate, such is the view of Jerry
Sterner. American businessman
turned dramatist and the creator
of a peculiarly modem monster
called Lawrence Garfinkle. alias
Larry the Liquidator.

The efforts of this crass, ebul¬
lient asset-stripper to grab and dis¬
member New England Cable and
Wire are bound to provoke com¬
parisons with Caryl Churchill’s
portrait of Big Bang chicanery.
Serious Money. But there are two
important differences between
that and Stemer's play. She had a
socialist agenda to pursue: he
wants to save capitalism from its
own excesses. Stylistically, she
opted for sprawling cartoon; he

hostel to a derelict one-bed-
roomed flat. She tumbles in,
wearing a dressing gown and not
much else, locked in an embrace
with her shy friend June (Faith
Edwards, dressed in a dressing
gown and one slipper). Together
they fill the office with a stream of
risque remarks addressed to
Sheila. Hutchins and. out of the
window, a train driver who fancies
June. Debbie is both awful flack¬
ing tact, manners, sense) and glori¬
ously alive, funny and touching.

This performance, and Nigel
Hughes's direction, gain stature in
the second act, in which Debbie —
now living with J, her boyfriend,
and Charmaine, her baby — is
visited in her new flat by Sheila.
Fluctuating between aggression
and blank despair. Clarke shows
the vulnerability beneath the
perky surface. Couple and child, as
Sheila despairingly comments,
seem locked in a repeating cycle oF
violence and deprivation. Clarke
and Mark Monero. raw-edged and
physically taut as J. also suggest
that what these two need as much
as a roof is a language which can
connect, not hurt. At the end. with
Sheila finally out of the picture (it
is a tribute to Stella Tanner that
we find her both right and
annoying), there are signs of that
language emerging.

Harry Eyres

Big, sensual singing: Virginia Kerr in The Vanishing Bridegroom

Kerr as the ignored bride, her
singing big with sensual life before
two consecutive folk tales have
ground her down. Hairy Nicoll,
suffering from a cold, will no
doubt come through more strong¬
ly as the tenor lead — there is
already a promising spring to his
performance — while Robert
Pouiton nicely graduates his
progress from magus to devil by
way of policeman, singing power-

presents the case-study of a
takeover.

That explains why her play was
the more energetic and imagi¬
native. while his seems more
authentic and authoritative, if also
a bit softer. Here is a reputable
company whose subsidiaries are
profitable, while its central di¬
vision endures the woes of a
declining wire industry.

Larry's solution is the surgical
removal of this core “cancer",
never mind the loss of jobs, the
damage to the local community,
the firm’s past contributions to
America, and all the other things
that matter to its old-school
chairman. Jorgenson.

The intricate power struggle
that ensues should not deter non¬
business audiences. Terms such as
“white knight", “arbitrageur" and
“golden parachute" are at least as
well explained as in Serious
Money. If there is an objection, it
is to the implausibility of the
lawyer fighting Larry being the
daughter of Jorgenson’s adoring
PA. Some pretty mawkish, embar¬
rassing stuff surfaces here. Yet this
is no worse than a big, annoying
pimple on the face of a play that
draws the layman into a world he
ought to know, and which should
fascinate him with the logic and

DANCE

Endangered Species
Lilian Baylis

IN PAST seasons The Kosh
invited dance critics to its new
shows: this year's request for a
drama critic marks a further step
towards a frontierlcss genre it calls
“The Danceplay”. Perversely, this
glimpse at the on-and-off stage life
of an old music-hall partnership
offers less of a firm dramatic form
than their last piece, securely
based on a (ale by Nabokov.

Endangered Species draws on
the memories of the company's
acrobatics director. Johnny
Hutch, a man agile enough at the
age of 64 to win the World Circus
Championship with his full-twist
back somersault. Mark Hopkins
and Sian Williams give us some¬
thing less neck-breaking than this:
fewer thrills, more humour, of a
gentle son. and a hard-edged
sketch about the war-wounded to
end (he show on a sharp note.

Beneath four large fightbulbs.
only one of which is turned on. the
trunks and other lumber of a
busband-and-wife act arc slacked
haphazardly around the stage.
Enter a piano for the first number
a contest between singer and
accompanist, with “Funiculi

fully throughout the production.

Elizabeth McCormack is the
eventual heroine of tbe piece, and
could do with a touch more flame
to make her seem so more
effectively. She has little help,
though, from Ian Spink's produc¬
tion, which could put more trust
in the formidable theatre of Weir’s
invention.

Paul Grifftths

the crackle of its warfare.

Paul Rogers is the bluff genial
bloody-minded tyrant tbat Jorgen¬
son needs to be; but there is some
want of toughness at the centre of
Alan Strachan's production. Ma¬
ria Aitken brings a feisty, flamboy¬
ant charm to the role of the lawyer
when she should be more brassily
Wall Street. But the real problem
is Martin Shaw's Larry, a roly-
poly slob with an aggressive Bronx
growl, the looks ofa hedgehog, the
ethics of Captain Hook, but not
quite the hardness the character
needs. At times, he comes peril¬
ously dose to being that dreadful
thing, a lovable villain.

However, perhaps this reflects
an ambivalence in the author. If
almost any British dramatist had
written the play, Larry would be
nothing but the vile capitalist
predator Jorgenson thinks him.
But Sterner is an American, and is
prepared finally to concede that
those who own New England
Cable, the stockholders, have
Interests that even Larry the
Liquidator may see better than a
paternalist chairman. Thai, at any
rate, is the not unstimulaiing
thought that this entertaining,
imperfect play leaves behind.

Benedict Nightingale

Funicula" the battlefield. The
comedy here is pleasant enough,
and likewise in the exhibition
tango where their smart clothes’
start coming apart at the seams:
exhibitionist tango, perhaps. Their
agility is impressive: tumbling,
collapsing and unfolding upon
each other. As Williams is a head
taller than her partner, the usual
joke is that she supports him. In
the apache dance she gives as
energetically as she gets.

Rather than the notion that
these performers are “tottering on
a tight rope of hilarity and despair
as their act and reality merge", the
act is more like some well-tried
cabareL Michad Merwitzer, the
co-founder and director, would be
well advised to build on a sturdier
narrative next time round.

All the more unexpected and
welcome, therefore, was the clos¬
ing number when Williams
clambers into the bizarre togs of
an Arlesienne nurse and binds up
Hopkins — lustily singing “Good-
bye-ee, I wish you all a last
goodbye-ee" — in bullet-ripped
uniform, splints, and yards of
blood-stained bandage and tri¬
colour bunting that leave him as
trapped as a patriotic fly in a web.
A timely reminder when the jingo
bells are ringing.

1 1.05 Jonathan Ross Presents for One
Week Only - David Lynch.

• CHOICE. Ross's profile upstages the
BBC appraisal of Lynch to be screened
tomorrow in KtovingPictures, while
generously publicising LyntiYs
television soap, Twin Peaks, which
goes out next week on BBC2. Lynch's
boldly unorthodox approach to film-
making has not inspired Ross to mount
anything but the most conventional
of documentaries. II follows the familiar
pattern of a dip from Lynch's latest
film and a dutch of admiring quotes,
before telling us that he was bom m
Montana in 1946 and taking it
chronologically from there. Ross is
not the most penetrating of interviewers
when it comes to teasing out

Against the grain: David Lynch (11.05pm)

Lynch's complex sensibilities but he
offers a workmanlike guide to a career
that has consistently challenged the
Hollywood mainstream The exception
was Dune, a commercial and critical
failure at the time but ripe for
reassessment The chance comes
immediately alter this programme.

12.05am Film; Duns (1984) starnng Kyle
Mac Lachlan, Francesca Annis, Jose
Ferrer, Sian Phillips, Jurgen
Prochnow, Dean Sfockwefl. Max von
Sydow and Sting Visually inventive
science fiction epic, basad on Frank
Herbert's cult novel, which becomes
bogged down by its own complexity
Director David Lynch tries hard to
impose his personal signature but
seems overawed by the huge, £50
million, budget.

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 1990

WHATEVER can this woman be
on? Did Mr Kinnock say crack?
Ordid he caQ her a crank? These
and other questions most await a
sealing of the dust after yes¬
terday’s parliamentary storm.
The PM was like a thing

MOSCOW, Leningrad and a num¬
ber of other Soviet cities face the
prospect of all-out rationing in the
new year, a senior economic
adviser to President Gorbachev
said yesterday. As Mr Gorbachev
pul the finishing touches to his
speech on economic reform he is
to deliver today. Academician
Abel Aganbegyan painted a pic¬
ture of economic gloom.

The academician, who has over¬
seen the two latest revisions of the
programme to transfer the Soviel
Union to a market economy, also
attacked -Boris Yeltsin, the presi¬
dent of the Russian Federation,
for bis dismissal of the new
programme. He accused Mr
Yeltsin of speaking before he had
read the document and said that
any “catastrophe’' would reflect
the performance of the republics'
governments in implementing
their chosen programme: the cen¬
tral programme comprised only
“guidelines”.

Academician Aganbegyan,
addressing a joint meeting of
parliamentary commissions in the
Kremlin, held in preparation for
today's fill! session of parliament,
said that Leningrad had already
decided in principle to ration basic
goods early next year and that
Moscow was considering the idea
favourably. Although these two
cities are traditionally among the
best supplied in the country, they
currently sell most food and
consumer goods only to registered
local residents. Sugar and tobacco
are already rationed. The central
Russian cities of Voronezh and
Volgograd have started to in¬
troduce rationing for a wide range
of goods, and others can be
expected to follow.

The Soviet Union, he said,
would have difficulty meeting its
target of 60 billion roubles (£60
billion at the official rate of
exchange) for this year's internal
budget deficit, and had abandoned
all hope of balancing the books in
1991. The target for next year was
now a deficit of 25 to 30 billion
roubles.

According to government esti¬
mates. he said, there was a surplus
of at least 2 billion roubles in
circulation, which was not
matched by goods to buy. and he
served warning that the measures
required to control the money
supply and curb inflation would
be extremely harsh. “They will
arouse a host of complaints," he
said, but emphasised that the
alternative was worse.

Mr Aganbegyan also indicated
thai both the reform programme
and Mr Gorbachev’s speech today
were gpared as much to Western
creditors as to the domestic audi¬
ence. The Soviet Union was facing
considerable difficulties in attract¬
ing long-term credits , he said.
“Any bint of political instability is
very damaging to our foreign
economic policy.’*

Folds of fabric: ready-to-wear chiffon dress from Rei Kawakubo at Comme des Gartens ami a layered creation from John Galliano

Paris shows it is still the Mecca of chic

By Liz Smith

FASHION EDITOR

THE seven-day marathon of 70 fashion shows
that make up the Paris ready-to-wear collec¬
tions has opened with the French capital
clearly strengthening its position as the Mecca
of chic.

The Italians may have the edge on the
manufacturing side of the fashion industry.
The British are seen as originators of off-beat
ideas, and the Japanese are technologically
sophisticated. Bui Paris is not giving up easily

its role as the fashion capital of the world.

The British are already making their
presence fell. John Galliano, the British
designer who is now rated 14th in the world
class of designers according to a poll by Journal
du Textile, the French trade paper, opened his
parade with layers of slip dresses. Worn two or
three at a dme, they are so skimpy and sheer in
slippery nylon and chiffon that they do not
necessarily guarantee decent coverage.

It was a strong presentation, in which one
original idea followed another — from knitted
or chiffon-backed waistcoats to PVC corset-

laced jackets worn with PVC hipster pants.
Bustles and back-packs swung. There were
skirts and jackets made up out of a mass of
Sapped pockets and Magritte-style bowler hats.

More layers of fluttering chiffon came from
the Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo at
Comme des Gardens. Her finale was a
spectacular line-up of stained-glass printed
chiff on dresses worn over body suits.

.Katherine Hamnett, another British design
star, shows her collection tomorrow. The Scots
designer Alistair Blair will provide Monday’s

hi g hli ght wit h hi j i)ri|yitasd ffi i g nerjH Balmain .

It all started quietly. John
Butterfifl (C Bournemouth W)
asked one of those cringmgJy
servile questions that a naive
young. Tory backbencher ima¬
gines wifl-boost hischances of
promotion, and imagines right,'
Mr B tokl Mrs T how dreadful
socialist coundlswwe, and MrsT
told Mr B how right he was.

Aroused to mischief by this,
odious display. Nett Jtinnock
decided to stirtip tlwrdisagree¬
ment ramblin g amongst Tories
about' education vouchers.
Knowing the prime minister
favours vouchers, he asked her to
make it clear that she didn’t.

She began sweetly, with a
30 mph rant about freedom of
choice. John MacGregor, the
education secretary, sat, rather
tense on the bench, grinning and
nodding like one of those
mechanical nodding dags , in the
near windows of cars. Then she
changed up a gear, hit the gas
pedal and mounted a kerb,
striking a glancing blow at
“socialist authorities*’ (“They do
not want opportunity") and a biff
at the Labour leader (“he is
against choice”). Rubber bit as¬
phalt as our chaufleuse opened
foeforottk and threw her answer
into a tight right-hand bend. In
the rear window, Mr MacGregor
grinned and nodded with increase
ing ferocity, looking carsick.

Winded by this outburst Mr
Kumock accused her of trying to
escape, his'question. He shouted
“she's a crank!" Mr MacGregor
rememb e red to stop nodding.

“Nonsense! Nonsense!" she
shouted, gathering speed. “The
money follows the pupilT (she
swerved to avoid an obvious call
for vouchers). “Of course he hates
choice. Of course he hates
opportunity!...” Mr MacGregor
resumed his nodding. “He's a
socialist!"

Asa final lap of honour, didn’t
this lack bite? She thought so, too.
There was a crashing of gears and
a squealing of tyres. “He's .a
aypto-comnanistT Mr Mac¬

Gregor’s smile froze as his heart
missed a beat and his head a nod.

Momentarily stunned, Mr
' Kinnock came back fast and with
well-judged hilarity, laughing.
“It’s a long time since we had
such, a tantrum.”

. But there was no stopping her.
Rolling down the window, she
started shooting out statistics.
These apparently showed that
Britain already spends a phenom¬
enal amount on education. The
list of figures sounded wefi-
. rehearsed and as foe PM reded it
of£ Mr MacGregor's nod took on

- a certain weariness. He had beard
it-all already. Yesterday. Twice.
Once from her and once from
Norman Lament

- The Liberal Democrats’Paddy
Ashdown tried to flag hear down.
Mr MacGregor, he told her, had
condemned the vouchers idea as
an .“unnecessary distraction".

There was an embarrassed
pause m nodding, which Mrs
Thatcher interpreted for us: “Mr
MacGregor, sitting next to me,
disagrees with that interpreta¬
tion.” Nod, ood. And so they
continued into the sunset: she at
the wheel, he in the rear window.

Labour tried to raise the in¬
cident, later, in “points of order”.
Could they now call her a
“crypto-fascist,” they asked? Mr
Speaker, however, had not (he
sighed) quite caught the “crypto-
carom must” remark.

“I dkfi” said Labour's Dale
Campbefl-Savours (Workington).
This puzzled us as he had not
been in foe chamber. “1 was
driving back from Eastbourne
and heard it on my car radio.” Mr
Speaker resorted that he had not
had that advantage. Dennis Skin¬
ner (L, Bolsover) rose. '

“When 1 called Dr Death a
pompous sod...” (the Speaker
began trying to stop him. Too
late!) “... T was told to take an
early bath.”

Mr Speaker “I hope you don’t
want to lake another one."

And, finally, David Trimble
(UUP, Upper Barm); “Now that
there are cameras m the chamber,
can we have a televised action re¬
play?”

Mr Speaker (with infinite
weariness): “7%ar is a large part of
the trouble."

Achesoo gives warning on liver Commons clash on education

PREGNANT women should not
eat liver because of a possible risk
to their unborn babies. Sir Donald
Acheson, the government’s chief
medical said yesterday.

He issued foe advioe after the
Department of Health's com¬
mittee on toxicity had examined
evidence that the amounts of
vitamin A in liver could pose a
threat In large amounts, vitamin
A is known to be linked with birth
defects, although none have been
reported in Britain.

It is suspected that high vitamin
A levels in liver are caused by
additions of the vitamin to animal
foodstuffs. The agriculture min-

By Nigel Hawkes, science editor

istry yesterday called on foe
European Commission to con¬
sider urgently whether limits
should be set and it urged British
foodstuff manufacturers to limit
vitamin A to the levels recom¬
mended by foe Agricultural Re¬
search Council. The ministry
urged foe council to begin tests of
liver samples and to launch
research into why vitamin A levels
in liver are high.

Sir Donald's warning follows
research reports from abroad of
birth defects in foe children of
women who had taken vitamin A
supplements greatly in excess of
foe recommended daily intake.

He said there had been only one
case reported of forth defects
definitely linked to liver. The
woman had consumed large
quantities of liver throughout her
pregnancy. His advice covers both
liver and capsules containing vita¬
min A.

• The commonest form of salmo¬
nella infection in humans is
continuing to increase, according
to figures released yesterday by the
Public Health Laboratory Service.
Salmonella enteritidis infections
show a 15 percent rise for the first
nine months of 1990 compared
with 1989.

speech last Friday prompted a
week of speculation that she was at
odds with Mr MacGregor.

Her outburst in the Commons
came after Mr Kinnock said that
she was in favour of vouchers. He
said that she was a crank and every
examination ever unde rtaken into
vouchers, including that by Lord
Joseph, foe former education sec¬
retary, had concluded vouchers
were expensive, bureaucratic and
divisive.

Mrs Thatcher replied that this
was nonsense. “They are one
method and only one method of
what we are already operating.
The money follows foe pupfl. That
is a form of giving extra choice.

schools. Of course he hates choice.
Of course he bates hiffoer stan¬
dards. Of course he hales opportu¬
nity. He is a socialist — a crypto
communist.”

Many Tory MPs roared ap¬
proval at Mrs Thatcher’s remarks.
Last night, the' passion of her
comments was attributed by some
to her anger at Labour’s attempt to
take foe initiative on education,
temtray which foe regards as
belonging to herself and to her
party. Education department

sources insisted the prime min¬
ister’s remarks were in accord with
those made by. Mr MacGregor this
week. He has maintained that foe
government's reforms will extend
parental choice in much the same
way asa voucher scheme. He has
said vouchers are not on the
current agenda but they may have
to be looked at in foe light of
experience. ' . . /

Ketson
calls in
receiver

KCTSON* the troubled public
relations group, has asked its
banks to call in an admin¬
istrative receiver. A. formal
appointment is- expected
today.

Earlier yesterday the shares
were suspended at 3fep, their
low for the year, valuing the
group at just £2.69' millmw,
Rupert Stan bury, chief exec¬
utive. said Ketson had been
brought low by its heavy
reliance on the financial ser¬
vices sector, which had seat a

rapid downturn tiris summer.

Loss reduced

French Connection, the fash¬
ion group, made a pre-tax loss
of £220.000 in the six months
to end-July T compared, with a
loss of £2.48 miHioDL Sales
increased from £26.7 million
to £28.7 million, and the fore
per share was O.lp (is.6p
loss).. The interim dividend
remains at 0.9p. The shares
were unchanged at 32p. '

Tempos, page 25

Fisher at £74m

Albert Fisher, the fruit and
vegetable group, hints at ac¬
quisitions because, it says, the
group - has a healthy
position. Tony Millar, exec¬
utive chairman, yesterday re¬
ported pre-tax profits of £74.4
million <£44.9 mHlion) for the
year ended August 31, on a
turnover of £1.04 billion
(£830.6 million). A l-85p
(1.5p) final dividend makes
3 JSp (2.75p) for the year.'

. By Martin Waller

lilt government has run into stiff
rippoation from its City advisers over its
insistfaKs ihcsx.it may hold back 40 per cent
of the' 12 regional electricity companies in
E n gla nd 'andW^es^whkfaare to be floated
on the stock market soon.

All sax stockbrokers involved in the issue
are believed to have-made it plain to the
government that they do not want to see
any of the electricity distribution industry
.remain in government bands after dealing
siarte in December. But Whitehall is
i ns ist in g on retaining the option of floating
cmly 60-per cent and is requiring parallel
plans to be drawn up by its advisers for
partial and complete sate.

The brokers are now conducting
presentations with a range of City institu¬
tions who will be expected to sub-
underwrite the ■ £4.7 billion issue and

gauging their attitude to the float There are
three 'main points of debater There is
concern that a war in the Middle East may
knock the float off course, although it
seems that at this stage that concern is not
paramount Institutions would like to see
some sort of “safety net” in the underwrit¬
ing agreement which would allow them to
walk away from the float if it turns sour,
but it appears that many tacitly concede
that this would not be acceptable to the
government, which insists on maintaining
control of the issue.

There is debate over the price, and
therefore the yield the government will
have to ofier to get the issue away safely. It
is accepted that the distributors will have
to be slotted between British Gas, now
offering a prospective yield of 7.5 per cent,
and the water companies package which
offers 7.9 per cent. To this will have to be

added a 10 per cent “issue discount" to
ensure a healthy aftermarket This puts the
distributors on a prospective yield ofabout
8.5 per cent While the government
advisers would like to see a lower figure to
maximise the proceeds of the issue and
some institutions would like to see higher,
both seem to be largely in agreement.

What gives rise to most opposition is the
prospect that 40 percent of the distributors
may be left in government hands. There is
a strong feeling in Whitehall, which is
concerned about future Public Accounts
Committee scrutiny of the sale, that the
water issue last year was sold too cheaply
because of the turbulent market conditions,
that {Receded ft. A partial sale, some
Whitehall sources feel, is one way the
government can ensure that the current
difficult times on the market do not give
rise to a repeal performance. The City is

likely strongly to resist a partial sale. One
broker dose to the issue, who did not wish
to be identified, said the Whitehall attitude
amounted to “PAC paranoia” He added:
“People weren't in the least bid concerned
about it previously (a partial float) because
they didn’t believe it”

All the government brokers were now
advising against a sale of just 60 per cent,
he said. “The government hears that
advice but reserves the right not to take it"
The government points to previous
partial sate such as British Telecom and
Cable & Wireless which did maximise
proceeds to the Treasury. But both those
companies, the brokers point out, have
showed a far faster growth rate post-
flotation than the distributors can hope for.

A decision to go for a partial sale at this
stage would be a sign of political coward¬
ice, the brokers believe, and the worst

Growth in wages
reaches highest
level since 1982

By Anatole Kaletsky, economics editor

WAGE . .inflation has accel¬
erated to the highest rate seen
since early 1982, while un¬
employment has risen for the
sixth month in succession,
according to August employ¬
ment and earnings figures
released by the employment
department

. Government ministers ex¬
pressed concern about the
high rate of wage growth and
gave warning that ft could
make British companies un¬
competitive '. against. their
European rivals now that the
option of devaluation had
beat ruled put by entry to the
exchange-rate mechanism.

Although the increase of
13,000 in the seasonally ad¬
justed unemployment figure
was at die. low ehd of expect*- .
tions, trade union and Labour
party spokesmen claimed it as
evidence that Britain was
sliding into recession. They
also pointed out that the rate
of growth in .wages was sun
logging behind the rate of
retail price inflation, which fait
10.9 per cent in September.

Average earnings rose by an
underiying lOVt percent in the
12 months to August, the
highest rate since April 1982,
when pay inflation was 101b
percent

Tim increase in average
earnings unadjusted for dis¬
tortions such as the timing of
pay settlements was 10.9 per
cent. In manufacturing in¬

dustry, earnings increased by
an underlying 9% per cent

. Underlying pay growth in
July was reported last month
as 10 per cent; but yesterday
the employment department
revised that figure upwards to
10& per cent

Technically, therefore, there
was no acceleration between
July and August However,
averaging out the month-by-
momh variations, there was
clear evidence in the latest
figures of a gradual accelera¬
tion in. the underlying rate of
earnings growth. This rate has
risen steadily from 8% per
cent in the summer oflast year
to 9tt per cent last autumn,
9& per cent in the winter and
then TO percent In the early
summer.

There was further bad news
in Britain's productivity fig¬
ures. These showed that
productivity growth in manu¬
facturing industry slowed to
0.2 per cent in August against
a year earlier.

In July, the rate of
productivity growth was re¬
ported as 1.1 per cenL Averag¬
ing out the productivity
figures for the three months
ending in August, the rate of
growth was 1 per cent This
meant that manufacturers’
unit wage costs, the most
important single indicator of
international competitive¬
ness, grew by 9.7 per cent in
the year to August and by 8.6

per cent if the figures for the
last three months were av¬
eraged out

While the pay and prod¬
uctivity figures were un¬
welcome for John Major, the
chancellor, and the govern¬
ment, the unemployment
statistics were better tha n
expected. Seasonally adjusted
unemployment increased by
13,000 to 1.667,000 and the
percentage unemployment
rate was unchanged at 5.8 per
cent of the workforce.

Michael Howard, the em¬
ployment secretary, had been
bracing himself for a rise of
about 20,000 after the 22.000
increase announced last
month. Nevertheless, Mr
Howard described the rise as
“disappointing”.

He said: “Progress in creat¬
ing jobs and achieving a return
to a downward trend in un¬
employment depends on real¬
istic wage settlements. Our
entry into the exchange-rate
mechanism reinforces the
need for both companies and
their employees to work to¬
gether to contain their costs by
ensuring that pay settlements
do not rise above an afford¬
able level “As the chancellor
has said, if they fail to do so,
they will not be bailed out by a
devaluation of sterling.”

Unemployment in August
rose in all areas except the
West Midlands, Wales, Scot¬
land and Northern Ireland.

THE aftershocks of the Polly

group controlled by - Bilge
Nevzat, Asil Nadu's sister.
Shares ip the company were
suspended after Midland
Bank and another bank .with¬
drew short-term facilities.

Stares were suspended at
26p yesterday, compared with
a high of l02p..

The company said: "This
reduction does ooi reflect the

position or prospects of the
group . .. ii is entirely due to
market sentiment - following
the stispetsion of dealing in
Polly Peck and the relation¬
ship between the chairman.
Mis Neyaat, and her brother,

unavailable for comment -

The company has net assets

of about £11.5 million and net
borrowings of about £2.5 mil¬
lion. Of this debt, £1.8 million
has been borrowed from a
Turkish bank, while another
£700,000 is an overdraft.

Noble Raredon was refused
access to standby facilities
when the group tried to draw
down on them earlier this
week. Some £650,000 is
involved

Noble Raredon has been
linked through the boardroom
to Polly Peck and South
Atidlcy Management, a com¬
pany controlled by a Nadir:
family trust, which was raided
by the Serious Fraud Office
last month, triggering a slump
in Polly Peck shares that led to
their suspension on Septem¬

Sterling's membership of the ERM is good news for
anyone with a mortgage. And it's particularly good news
for those who borrow In foreign currencies. Sterling
should now be a more stable currency, arguably with a
reduced risk of excessive exchange rale movements
against other member currencies.

But foreign currency mortgages are more sophisticated
than many so called 'experts’ let on. Which is. perhaps,
why so many become hesitant when questioned on the
pros and con's.

With our colleagues at currency specialists The ECU
Group, we have succeeded in keeping our customers
interest rates on average below 9% whilst reducing their
outstanding mortgage debt over the last two difficult
years by some 160b.

Success like this is the fruit of many years' experience
and specialist skill. Expertise that can weigh ERM entry
in the context of the broader forces at play in the
currency markets long term.

So if you wish to learn more about the benefits of foreign
currency mortgages, as well as the pro's and con's ol' each
of our significantly differing products, call 071 839 5799

in Foreign Currency loans for years.

It's a free consultation without obligation • or hesitation.

24 BUSINESS AND FINANCE

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 1990

Lord Mayor’s Banquet

IT SEEMED likely that 1990
would be an uncomfortable
year and so it has proved.
Economic policy has been
dominated by the struggle to
get control of the inflationary
pressures that were evident in
the large current account defi¬
cit and. of course, in the
inflation figures themselves.

The cause of the problem
was excess demand And the
remedy that we put in place
was a firm monetary policy
that is now clearly working.

All the monetary aggregates
now tefl the same story.
Annual growth of narrow
money. MO, has been reduced
in every month since April
and is now within its target
range; M4 growth has fallen
steadily throughout this year
to reach its lowest point since
June 1987. We have seen a
welcome recovery in the sav¬
ings ratio from 4.9 per cent in
the third quarter of 19SS to 7.7
per cent in the second quarter
of 1990.

Earlier this month sterling
entered the exchange-rate
mechanism. This event marks
a significant development in
the conduct of monetary pol¬
icy. The news was greeted with
rapture in some quarters, and
with deepest gloom in others.
Neither of these extreme re¬
actions seems to me to be
right What entry to the ERM
mounts to is an extra dimen¬
sion to our monetary disci¬
pline. I have no doubt it will
bring benefits for the UK. But
I do not agree with those who
argue that the ERM mil bring
those benefits in the short¬
term and then have long-term
costs. Precisely the reverse is
true. Entry will require tough
action in the short-term to
ensure low inflation there¬
after. The disciplines of the
system will force both the
government and the private
sector to make difficult
choices.

For the private sector, 1 am
thinking in particular of the
control of costs including
labour costs. The days have
gone in which businesses
could simply negotiate around
the RPI and assume that a
falling exchange rate would
keep them competitive with
their European rivals. Keep¬
ing our costs in line with, or
lower than, those elsewhere in
the community is now
essential

And it is, of course, the
directors and managers of
British companies who must
ensure that they slay compet¬
itive. The government cannot
do it for them. It will be no use

dominance of the so-called
"going rate" in general while
meekly accepting it as an
unavoidable cost in tbeir own
firms. Within the ERM, that
approach will lead to only one
result: lost markets, redun¬
dancies, plant closures, and
ultimately company failures.

I put the point starkly
because I want to ensure that
the message is fully under¬
stood. It is as relevant to pay
in the boardroom as it is to
pay on the shop-floor.

Before we could join the
ERM, we needed to be sure
that inflationary pressures
were on the way down. As
usual, there has been a lag
between the peak in economic
growth and the peak in infla¬
tion — indeed, on this occa¬
sion that lag has been
particularly long. But — al¬
though oil prices have yet to
feed through fully into the
headline figures — it is now
clear that inflation itself is
near its peak and will fall
markedly over the next year.
There was. therefore, no fur¬
ther reason for delay in enter¬
ing the mechanism. And it
was, of course, those very
same conditions that in¬
dicated that a reduction in
interest rates was now
appropriate.

I decided, therefore, to an¬
nounce the two moves at the
same time. In doing so, 1 was
influenced by the risk that a
reduction in interest rates
before entry into the ERM
would have been misunder¬
stood as a signal that I was
seeking to weaken the ex¬
change rate in readiness for
joining — which I was not; or
alternatively, that entry was a
long way off — which it was

ERM cannot oblige
us to accept the
imposition of a
single currency

not Both interpretations
might have weakened the
exchange rate and damaged
the prospect of entering at a
central rate that would make
our counter-inflationary in¬
tentions clear from the start. 1
took the view, therefore, that
the markets should be aware
of both those factors at the
same time — hence the joint
announcement To be frank, I
thought that was the most

straightforward and sensible
way to proceed, and I still do.

We decided to enter with G
per cent margins to give
sterling an opportunity to
settle down in view of the
uncertainties which necessar¬
ily attend an important mar¬
ket development of this land
As circumstances permit, we
will move to the narrow 2V*
per cent bands.

Returning to inflation, the
indications are that this will
fall throughout next year, and
especially quickly from April
onwards as both the under¬
lying rate improves and some
of the unusual adverse factors
drop out. However, not¬
withstanding this unproved
prospect, interest rates will be
reduced further only when it is
dearly safe to do so.

The ERM also has implica¬
tions for fiscal policy.
Throughout the 1980s, fiscal
policy has been used to sup¬
port monetary policy and it is
crucial we maintain this ap¬
proach in the future.

Some commentators have
suggested that interest rates
are, in some sense, allocated to
maintaining the exchange rate
and are therefore not available
to help achieve other objec¬
tives. They argue therefore
that in consequence member¬
ship will require a more active
fiscal policy. I have no doubt
that it would be a huge
mistake to return to frequent
mini-budgets and fiscal fine-
tuning. It is not necessary, its
effects are not wholly predict¬
able and in my limited experi¬
ence, one Autumn Statement
and one Budget a year are
quite sufficient] However, the
overall fiscal balance will be
important in the future just as,
in practice, it has been in the
past

As the economy has slowed
it has become inevitable that
large cyclical Budget surpluses
would diminish. The boom in
corporation tax collection has
come to an end for the time
being and as I indicated to the
Treasury committee of the
House of Commons some
years ago, an economic slow¬
down inevitably brings re¬
newed pressures on public
expenditure, which may no
longer foil as a proportion of
GDP. But I do not believe we
should change our medium-
tenn objective of a balanced
Budget That would not make
sense.

To summarise, there is no
doubt about the problems of
1990. I do not promise that
1991 will be easy either we
will continue to need tight
monetary and fiscal policies

Entry to ERM
not an easing
of policy

WE DID, of course, combine
ERM entry with a one percent¬
age point cut in interest rates.
Perhaps the first thirra to make
dear about this- Is that, when
taking the decision we knew
that ■ while the real economy
was softening and inflationary
pressures were easing, the
Inflation rate itself had not yet

and our co mmitmen t to the
ERM will reinforce that disci¬
pline on industry and on
Government. But we will, I
am sure, begin to see the
benefits in a substantial foil in
inflati on. That will be im¬
portant p ro gr es s . And with
inflati on back under control,
British business will be well
placed to take advantage of
the enormous opportunities
which our policies have
created

Europe

In recent years we have played
an important and constructive
role in shaping the commu¬
nity. I have no doubt that we
will continue to do so in
future. This is vital to the
future of the City and of
industry. Of course, whenever
we voice doubts about a
proposal emanating from
Brussels, there will be those
ready to call us halfhearted
Europeans or accuse us of
trying to disupt the commu¬
nity. Equally, whenever we
put forward positive proposals
to make Europe work better,
there will be those who accuse
us of pre-emptive surrender.
Both are wrong.

Our record as good Europe¬
ans is excellent. It was Britain

that was instrumental in seek¬
ing a Budget deal that kept the
community viable; Britain
which has helped remove the
worst excesses of the CAP; and
Britain which has im¬
plemented more single market
measures than all but one of
our community partners.
Many so-called "good Europe¬
ans" are in practice very bad
Europeans when it comes to
opening up their markets to
competition.

Entry will require
tough action in the
short-term to ensure
low inflation

to Europe is our desire to see
the community evolve to¬
gether. We do not want to see
it split into two tiers with an
inner core speeding ahead
This would not strengthen the
EG And it could damage it
gravely. It is against that
background that I hope our
partners will judge our pro¬
posals for the development of
EMU beyond stage 1.

In recent months I have
been encouraged by the direc¬

tion that debate has taken.
Increasingly the focus of atten¬
tion is on the practical steps
after stage 1 asour partners in
Europe recognise that the pro-
requisite to further integration
is convergence of economic
performance^ Moreover, there
is an inherent absurdity in
arguing about the length or
dam of stage 2 before
determining what should be in
it

Our proposals for a Euro¬
pean Monetary Fund and a
hard ecu are well known. They
provide an evolutionary ap¬
proach based on the market
and choice. They recognise
that economic convergence is
for from satisfactory. For the
present, differences between
the relative performances of
the 12 are striking. Animal '
rates of inflation in the
community range from 2 Vi to
22 per cent; short-term in¬
terest rates range from 8 to 18
per cent; and public sector
budget balances range from a
surplus of 3 per cent of GDP
to a deficit of over 17.per cent
And the degree of flexibility in
the economies of member
states varies considerably.

As we draw nearer to the
inter-governmental confer¬
ence in December, we shall

Because of fob, some in the
financial markets said the in¬
terest rate cut was premature.

To such doubters I would
make three points: first, foe
most recent economic and
monetary data provide dear
evidence that tnecorxfiions
necessary to recfoce. inflation
are now coming Into place;
secondy, at 14 per emit, in¬
terest rates remain high; and
thirdly, the continuing restrain¬
ing influence of Wyi real to-
terest rates has been consid¬
erably rei n fo rced by ERM entry
Itself.

It would be quite wrong to
see the steps taken a fortnight

ago as designed to bring about

any significant eating of our
pewey stance.

Others have said that foe
interest rate reduction was both
too smaB and too late; that we
.should do more, and quickly.

But I am afraid mat that
would not be compatible with
getting inflation decisively

In fact complaints about
pokey, from whatever source,
would have been more appro¬
priate when monetary con¬
ditions became too relaxed.

continue to take ft practical
and constructive approach.
But no erne should misinter¬
pret our position. Joining the
ERM did not commit us to
adopting, and cannot oblige us
to accept, the imposition of a
single currency in Europe:

But I have made it perfectly
plain that' under the UK's
proposals, the hard ecu could
ultimately evolve towards a
single currency (fit were'the
wish of gove rnm ents and peo¬
ples that it should be used in
preference to their own nat¬
ional currencies. But I have
alw indiffulwl that it w iwithw

a decision of that kind now.

While the debate continues
we are looking for practical
ways in 'which the existing

urges long-term reforms
ill tax and business rate

John Banham: reforms have not achieved objectives

Brent Walker fails

LONGER-term reforms to the
uniform business rate and foe
community charge have been
proposed by the Confedera¬
tion of British Industry, which
said that the government's
reforms of local government
financing had failed to in¬
crease focal accountability.

Many companies have been
unhappy with the UBR, argu¬
ing that it will increase tbeir
costs so much that some them
will be forced out of business.

The CBI supports the objec¬
tives behind the community
chaige and the uniform busi¬
ness rate. John Banham, CBI
director-general, said yes¬
terday that there must be no
return, as foe Labour party
seemed to be proposing, to
anything like the rates system,
or 'foe days of taxation
without representation for
business, and repres e ntation
without taxation for house¬
holders”.

But Mr Banham told the
Institute of Revenues, Rating

and Valuation conference in
Scarborough: “It is clear that
the reforms have not achieved
their original objective of
strengthening local account¬
ability. As a result, the retail
price index has been boosted
by an extra one percentage
point, fuelling additional wage
demands.”

In the short term, next
year's UBR should reflect
estimated future general price
inflation, not estimated infla¬
tion on local authority costs,
or the September RPI figure.

Mr Banham said that the
government should now con¬
sider reforming the system in
the longer term by ending
general grants to local authori¬
ties, requiring businesses to
meet the costs of only those
services from which they di¬
rectly benefited, by making
the poll tax pay in full only
costs under direct focal au¬
thority control, and by
improving focal authority
efficiency.

US firm calls for
cable curb on BT

By Nick Nuttall, technology correspondent

SHARES in Brent Walker, the
leisure group, rallied strongly
in early trading after Wednes¬
day’s 24p fall

However, after losing some
ground in afternoon trading
on the International Stock
Exchange, they closed 14p
better at 74p. after SOp.

Ai that level, the price is still
66p below the I40p conver¬
sion price of the company's
capital bond.

The listing particulars for
the £103 million issue, which
requires the approval of
shareholders, are expected
□ext week.

Meanwhile, lawyers acting
for Brent Walker and Grand
Metropolitan are preparing
for the dispute over the £50
million that GrandMet alleges
Brent Walker still owes it as

part of the £685 million
acquisition of William Hill
and Mecca Racing last year.

Brent Walker has now re¬
sponded to the writ that
GrandMet issued two weeks
ago.

Brent Walker still believes it
has grounds for a counter¬
claim against GrandMet of
£110 million, based on an
alleged shortfall in profits at
William Hill and Mecca Rac¬
ing in the year to September
last year.

GrandMet on the other
hand, has always insisted that
foe payment of £50 million is
a separate issue from any
dispute over the final sale
price.

A judge could order the
disputed money to be paid
into an escrow account

BRITISH Telecom should be
banned from offering video
and television services down
the telephone lines for 15
years if the government is
committed to competition in
local telephony and cable
television services, according
to an American rival.

Officials of US West, the
American regional telephone
company with a shareholding
in 14 UK cable franchises,
said the restriction was needed
to allow cable companies to
develop competitive networks
and services.

The call, which is part of the
company's submission to the
government review of the
existing BT/Mercury duopoly,
may reflect the views of many
American phone companies
with UK interests. Senior US

West officials met yesterday to
announce London as their
new international base.

They said they were press¬
ing the trade department for
the right to build their own
fixed links and interconnect
focal cable telephony fran¬
chises with other network
operators such as British
Rail Telecom (BRT), the
newly formed telecommuni¬
cations subsidiary of British
Rail

US West has told the gov¬
ernment that setting up a third
national public operator
would be “hretevanr.

The company is also urging
the government to end the
need for cable companies to
get BT or Mercury approval
before offering telephony
services. '

Shares in
Caird fall
over fears
on bid

By Martin Barrow

SHARES in Caird Group, the
waste disposal company, fell
another lip to 59p amid
speculation that Severn Trent
will be allowed by the Take¬
over Panel to withdraw its
lOOp-a-share cash offer

Caird’s advisers yesterday
met the Takeover Panel to'
argue that Severn Trent
should be obliged to press on
with the bid even though the
company has conceded that
profits for the 18 months to
end-December wiD not exceed
£7.2 million before tax.

Severn Trent's offer, which
values Caird at £78 million,
was conditional on the
company reaffirming its orig¬
inal profit forecast of £8.5
million.

Severn Trent is also object-*
ing to the inclusion within foe
forecast of profits of fcl.S
million from property sales
and has expressed concern
about an extraordinary charge
of £3 million in respect of
anticipated losses and closure
costs within Caind's venture
property development
companies.

Caird is basing its case on
the company's anticipated
performance during foe final
six months of the 18-month
period.

Caird has recommended
Severn Trent’s offer for the
ordinary shares but rejected
foe offer for the convertible
preference shares.

The company is expected to
appeal if the Takeover.Panel
rules in favour .of Severn ’
Trent

Severn Trent has acquired
29.9 percent of the company's
ordinary shares at IQOp *
share and is likely to be left
muting substantial paper
losses if the offer . is
withdrawn.

Peter Li nacre, currently
chairman and chief executive
of Caird, has said he will'
relinquish his dual role if foe
company retains its indepen-:
dence, and the board is seek¬
ing, to appoints non-executive
chairman.

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 1990

M ai ^ cels are. seldom benign
when chancellors are due

to.qjeak, as the .gnomes
see such occasions as an
opportunity to test their resolve
and engage in a lmle harmless :
speculation- As John Major was ■
putting the final touches to his
Mansion House, speech at
teanaie yesterday, as the bankers
and merchants, were tying: their
little white bows, the.-forces at
wore an the markets dropped
sterling below the DM2-9S level
at which it entered the exchange- -
rate mechanism. .

The - emphasis potentially
switched from keeping the hd on
to deftmdingihe rate for the first.
time since sterling went into the
mechanism two weeks ago.
Those who said the problem
would be keeping sterling down,
because high interest rates and a
parity protected within defined
bonndries. would be an unbeat¬
able combination, rather thaw
keeping it up, are less sure of their
ground.

In part, this is because of the
unappetising meal being , cooked
up by die-latest ran of statistics,
in particular -the latest earnings
figures. Against this backdrop.

Putting on the style for Major

Mr Major was not kidding when
he said last night- that the days
have gone when business could
simply negotiate pay rises around
the RPI and assume a felling
exchange rate would keep them
competitive.

He wants to see the “going
rate” gone - and made the
welcome and sometimes over¬
looked point that restraint is as
relevant to pay in the boardroom
as on pky on the shopfloor.

Government claims.that the
underlying increase in average
earnings has now stabiisod at
10.25 per cent arc only credible
for those with exceedingly short
memories. In June and July, the
figure had stablised at 10 per
cent.-Now the government has
had to. revise upwards that July
figure to 10.25 per cent.

Whether August's similar
figure wiD have to be revised
upwards neat month is to be
awaited. If so, then perhaps we

settlement All this is merely
statistical bantering. What is
unavoidably dear is that earnings
figures have been on a general
upward trend for more than a
year, precisely at a time when
high interest rates were supposed
to be bearing down on com¬
panies* ability to settle high pay

ffoims

Each month, the government
has said they are too high. Each
month they have gone up.

It may be that the pay
settlements fuelling the earnings
figures are now coming down.
That is what the latest provision¬
al figures from tbe CBI Databank
indicate. It may be, too, that like
tbe earnings figures, the CBI data
really is provisional. With
double-figure inflation and seri¬

ous skill shortages, it may be that,
despite increasing overall unem¬
ployment, the upward pressures
on pay are at least as strong, if not
stronger, than the downward
pressures, even after ERM entry.

If that is the case, what can the
government do? Answer: not
much. Ministers may be right in
believing that the bunching of
settlements now will mean the
pay pressure easing over the next
few months and that, by the time
of the next bunching in April
when the public sector in tbe
main settles, the economic
climate — and especially the RPI
figure — will be considerably
better and will force pay deals
down. But, in the meantime,
despite ministerial advice to
employers and employees to

settle lower or see job losses
follow, the earnings figures look
set to go marching on.

Polly Peck

P olly Peck's tenders should
slop talking, get their act
together and name a new
chairman. News that shares in
Noble Raredon were suspended
show that the ripple effect is far
from over. That Midland Bank,
which is laying claim to every
penny of Polly Peck money
which passes through its ac¬
counts. pulled the rug from under
the feet of Asil Nadir's sister
proves the banks are not taking
any chances.

Indeed, the word on the street
is that the lenders* committee is
seeking another merchant bank
adviser to shore-up Chartered
West LB which has been too close
to the fracas to view it with cold
precision any longer.

A new chairman must have a

BUSINESS AND FINANCE 25

good track record in a fight and
be able to take on skittish lenders
and shareholders without of¬
fence. Anthony “Cob” Stenham
has turned the job down as have
several others who have been
quietly sounded out No one can
blame them.

They need to be able to work
with Asil Nadir and if necessary
to work without him if the
Serious Fraud Office finds there
is indeed fire accompanying the
smoke.

Sitting calmly on the Standard
Chartered board is Rudolph
Agnew who has not been
extended at all since leaving
Consolidated Goldfields one year
ago. Standard Chartered is one of
PPI’s biggest lenders in Britain
and convened the meetings of
lenders which resulted in the
five-week standstill on debt
repayments to give the company
time to put its house in order.

What about Standard allowing
Mr Agnew to stand aside as a
director long enough to oversee
the recovery of debts amounting
to more than £1 billion and
saving shareholders' funds of
almost half that? Over to you,
Rodney Galpin.

they ruin .the progressive rate

five years has seen bet earn¬
ings improve from 3.6p to

Pretax-profils for the year
ended August 31 at £74.4
million (£44.9 minion) were
achieved despite a £1 million

Pre-tax pro forma operating
profits of £63:9 million,
against £52.9 million, showing
an undertying 2i per cent
growth, follow farther
progress by fresh produce,
food process in g and distribu¬
tion. and the American food
services divisions: Overall
margins rose from 5.4 per cent
to 62 percent

Because of the depressed
economic climate, there is.no
shortage of companies' up for
sale. Should the Del Monte
fresh fruit division of troubled
Polly Peck Tnimratkmal be- -,
come available, and because
there is an auction currently
running for the American
group Dole Food,. Albert
Fisher might well be of even
greater size a year from now.

After three years of capital
expenditure of more than £20.
million, this year’s capex
spend could ease to about the
£17 million level. ...

Meanwhile, pre-tax profits
look like challenging tbe £96

tive rating of 11X2, backed by a

fresh air that Chesterfield
Properties is telling the world
to expert a lower value for its
portfolio by the year end.

Market interpretations sug¬
gest this could translate from
Iasi year’s l,305p per share to
about l,075p. a fell of 17.5 per
cent. Tbe feet that the shares
hardly flickered at S40p sug¬
gests that investors were not
surprised by tbe warning.

Chesterfield’s mix of central

London offices and retail
properties has performed
strongly in the half year to
end-June. Gross rentals rose
30 per cent to £ 116 million. A
near £600,000 increase in
income from other activities
helped lift turnover from
£127 minion to£!6.4 million.

Revenue profit before tax
emerged at £7.84 million
against £63 million, while
earnings per share climbed

from 17.97pto21.Ip,again of.
17.4' per cent. The interim
dividend is 7p (6.5p).

Two developments, offices
at Houndsditch on the eastern
edge of the City and a retail
project in Rochdale, were
mainly responsible for £7.9
million of capitalised interest.
But at least Chesterfield’s
gross rent roil covers its
interest payments, which is
more than can be said for a
number of property firms.

The shares, on a discount of
50 per cent to likely year-end
asset value, look superficially
attractive. But the bear market
has further to run in propert y .
Another year of shrinking
assets is likely to follow,
reducing the discount further.

But there are now signs that
tbe fashion retailer may be
starting to recover/ In the six
months to end-July. the pre¬
tax loss was £220,000, down
from a loss of £2.48 million,
and the interest charge has
been reduced from £1.05 mil¬
lion to £738,000. Sales in¬
creased from £26.7 million to
£28.7 million and the loss per
share was 0. Ip compared with
a loss of 15.6p last tune.

The interim dividend is
0.9p, unchanged on last time,
and the directors have waived
interim dividend payments to
themselves of £112,000, hav¬
ing waived dividends of
£330,000 last year.

Analysts expea the group to
break even in the year to
January after a pre-tax loss of
£4.7 million last time. Profits
should grow to about £1
million next year if Mr Shen's
magic continues to work,
putting the shares at 32p on a

much longer before the shares
begin to recover, even if it

Kleinwort jobs cut

THE 35 Kleinwort Benson,

yesterday comprised 13 Japa¬
nese warrant market-makers,
nine UK equity market-mak¬
ers —- four from the smaller

equity analysts, and eight
people from the firm’s back
office. “This is entirely un¬
related to Premier Oil. it is
simply a cutback because of
the harsh climate out there.”
says spokesman Peter Chur-

Robinson’s reign

ANN Robinson, bead of tbe
policy unit at tbe Institute of
Directors, has scored a double
first in Brussels. She has
become tbe first Briton and
the first woman to chair the
industry section of the eco¬
nomic and social committee
of tbe European Community.
“There is an enormous agenda
covering everything from
regulations on motor vehicle
engines to competition and
anti-trust policy.” says Robin¬
son, aged 53, who expects to
work closely with Sir Leon
Brittan, the competition and
financial services commis¬
sioner. “My job. is to ensure
fair play.” she says. Formerly
senior lecturer in politics at
the University Of Wales,
Robinson has served on the
EC’s economic and social
committee for tbe past four
years, commuting between
. Belgium and London.

Hooke or by crook

ROBERT Hooke, head of
Euro-equities at Banque
Paribas Capital Markets, has
run into difficulties with his
bid to sad around the world
single-handed. Hooke, aged
48, who set out from Newport,
Rhode Island, last month on
the first kg of the BOC round
the world race, is stranded in
the doldrums off fee North
African coasL “His steering
column has broken,* 1 says an
associate. But Hooke, a for¬

mer American marine and
naturalised Londoner, who
owns the .41 win Sculpture
Gallery in Grafton Street, has
fared better than some others.
Irish entrant Enda O’Coineen
was forced to turn back 70
miles into the race after
colliding with a fishing boat.
Before this, O’Coineen, spon¬
sored by Smirnoff, had started
the race with a huge time
penalty after his yacht was
delivered to the start line two
weeks late. The plucky Irish¬
man has yet to throw in fee
towel; perhaps it will be a case
of third time lucky.

Room for romance

YOUNG, eligible bachelors
and spinsters in the Square
Mile, searching for their ideal
partners, should perhaps seek
employment at Nomura Sec¬
urities. So many employees at
the firm's Tokyo headquarters
marry one another that it has
begun screening new staff to
see whether they fit the trill. A
spokesman admitted that
about 70 per cent of newly¬
weds there married a work¬
mate. . Their London
counterparts, meanwhile, are
likely to be more concerned
with lack of space. They are to
move into fee old Post Office
building on St Martin le
Grand at the end of fee
month. Their existing pre¬
mises are so crowded that staff
were told to keep two of the
three main lifts tee for clients
and guests. Meanwhile, ru¬
mours that the firm is running *
charm courses for its employ¬
ees are unfounded.

Call for modem ships provides
ray of hope at Cammell Laird

AS THE worldwide search to
find a buyer for the Cammell
Laird shipyard at Birkenhead
gets under way, 2,100 workers
wife an axe hanging their jobs
have one crumb of comfort.
Now may be tbe best time to
buy a United Kingdom ship¬
yard for 30 years or more.

World order books for ships
areal their fullest for 13 years.
According to Lloyd’s Register,

Hwinay under construction in

August was 39.9 million gross
tonnes, up 46 per cent in just a
year.

The npturn comes after a
slump in the world shipbuild¬
ing industry which lasted for
most of tbe Eighties.

The improvement does not
reflect any increase in the
demand for ship capacity.
Instead, owners are replacing
obsolete and inefficient ships
with more modem vessels
which pay for themselves
through lower running costs.

Delivery times are lengthen¬
ing. however, and according to
some reports, the cost of a new
ship has doubled in the past
two years. Owners are becom¬
ing alarmed.

Faced wife fee risk feat they
may not be able to take
delivery of new ships in time
to cash in on improving
charter rates, ship owners are
taking an interest in acquiring
their own construction yards.

Nowhere is fee trend more
obvious than in the United
Kingdom. At the turn of tbe
century, fee UK built half of
tbe world's ships. Last year, it
accounted for just 0.77 per
cent of world tonnage built
Shipbuilding in fee UK has
experienced a long, a g oni s in g
decline.

The dislocations became so
acute that in July 1977, Sir
Graham Day, then head of
Chmmell Laird, enthusias¬
tically complied wife govern-

Slump in
flow of
funds for
investment

MANY of the woes of the
stock market in the early
summer, when prices fell on
low turnover, appear to have
been the result of a sharp drop
in the flow of funds into
institutions for investment.

The additional investment
funds rose by only £4.8 billion
in fee second quarter, down
from £8.4 billion in tbe first
quarter and a quarterly av¬
erage of £8.3 billion since fee
beginning of 1989. according
to Bank of England figures.

Of this lower inflow, £2
billion was kept in cash or
other short-term liquid assets,
somewhat Jess than in fee first
quarter, so feat only £2.9
billion was invested, against
£5.6 billion in fee first quarter.

Investment in British shares
bore the brunt of the shortfall,
plunging from £2.4 billion to
£580 million, and fee institu¬
tions were also net sellers of
£400 million of gill-edged,
having been net buyers for the
previous two quarters.

Investment in land and
property in Britain also fell
from £600 million to £230
million, fee lowest for a year,
but investment in foreign
shares partly recovered, from
! £590 million to £1.2 billion.

; nearly half fee level in pre-
! vious quarters.

The sharp fall in fee inflow
of investment funds was
mainly due to life insurance
companies, whose total assets
for investment rose by £2.5
trillion, little more than half
tbe rate in the first quarter.

This reflected a drop in
business from the previous
exceptionally high rates, plus
the repayment of bank .
borrowings.

Graham Searjeant

meat instructions to nationa¬
lise the industry.

Upon formation, British
Shipbuilders had 87.000 em¬
ployees and comprised 35
companies, including some
equipment suppliersJJut the
move was not a success. Over
the past decade, its yards have
been dosed or returned to the
private sector.

Today, there are 13 yards
regularly building merchant
ships in fee UK. Only three
build ships more than 120

very large liquefied petroleum
camera. Several are destined
for the family’s own fleet.

Only one other UK yard
makes the big league in'mer-
chant ship building. Swan
Hunter, on Tyneside, is
primarily a warship yard,
which uses its naval expertise
to build specialised vessels,
such as a ship now under
construction fra the British
Antarctic Survey.

The other ten yards, largely
concentrated on Humberside,

‘There is now an upturn in the
merchant ship market. Prices
are firmer than they have
been for many years’

metres long, and of those, two
are foreign owned.

According to Nick Granger,
director of fee Slip Builders’
and Ship Repairers* Associ¬
ation, fee total value of ships
built in the United Kingdom
each year is £200 million to
£250 million, equal to the
turnover of a single middle-
rank industrial company. He
puts fee total order book at
just £500 million.

But in an industry wife long
lead times, today’s snapshot
can be deceptive.

Tbe United Kingdom’s big¬
gest shipyard is Hariand &
Wolff at Belfast, which has
been bought by employees
backed by Fred Olsen, tbe
Norwegian shipping business¬
man. He has supplied it with
orders for a series of big
tankers to equip his own fleet.

The next largest yard is
Govan, on Clydeside, which is
now controlled by the
Kvaerner family, another
group of Norwegian ship own¬
ers. It is building a series of

Merseyside, Scotland and
North Devon, employ 150-
400 people each, building
coasters, harbour tugs and
small ferries.

VSEL, which owns Cam¬
mell Laird, wanted to turn the
yard over to merchant ship
construction, but because it
was designated a warship
yard, access to the European
Community support scheme
was refused. The scheme pro¬
vides a subsidy of up to 20 per
cent of the cost of any ship
built, provided no profit is
made. Without its assistance,
Cammell Laird could not
compete for orders. The EC
was more mindful of its desire
to reduce capacity so that
subsidy could be ended.

Yelthe 140-acre Merseyside
yard has the facilities to
produce large ships of 150,000
tonnes un d e r cover. Con¬
verted to merchant ship
production, it would rank
equal second by size with
Kvaerner Govan.

With wage rates now 40 per

cent lower than Japan, fee
world leader, the United King¬
dom should once more be a
competitive place in which to
build ships.

Mr Granger believes world
demand could soon equal
yard capacity, pushing up
construction rates, obviating
the need for subsidies, and
malting shipbuilding a profit¬
able industry once more.

That is a prospect which
gives hope to Hugh Tidbury,
the merchant banker at Mor¬
gan Grenfell who is charged
wife finding a buyer for
Cammell Laird.

He said: “Since 1984, there
have been 20 British shipyards
which have changed hands.
There is a demand. And there
is a general upturn in the
merchant ship market Prices
are probably firmer now than
they have been for many
years."

He has drawn up a list of
more than 60 companies that
he will approach in his efforts
to sell fee yard. They indude
shipbuilders, ship owners, and
industrial and engineering
companies.

Already, more than half a
dozen inquiries have been
received at Morgan Grenfell
or VSEL, Cammell Laird's
parent company, at Barrow-
in-Furness, Cumbria.

The last submarine under
construction at tbe yard will
not be launched until Feb¬
ruary 1991 Even if its fitting
out was transferred to Barrow,
it is hard to imagine that any
buyer could take over earlier
than that

But by then, if industry
pundits are correct a shortage
of shipyard capacity might
make Cammell Laud an
attractive asset

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER 19 1990

SsSffi

It's a super-compact, desktop
system. Emphasis is on ease of-use,
for both storage and rapid retrieval.
Plus you get high-quality printouts in
just a few seconds.

So when it comes to efficient
office document archiving, choose the
advanced yet affordable solution.

The Canofiie 250 deans up your
desk-and, at the same time, puts all
your office documents within easy
reach. For further information simply
complete and return this coupon.

When you're faced with piles of
paperwork, the hardest problem is
where to file them. You end up with
a messy desk and cluttered filing
cabinets, which makes it almost im¬
possible to find even yesterday's do¬
cuments, let alone last year's!

Canon's simple solution is the
Canofiie 250 electronic filing system.
It uses the advanced optical disk
technology for fast and reliable high-
volume storage. There are many more
reasons why Canofiie is the best choic:e.

Please tell me more about the CF 250.

By Martin Barrow _.

BP HAS agreed to sell its ex¬
ploration and production in¬
terests in New Zealand to Flet-
chef Challenge, die industrial
conglomerate, for NZ$360
million (£ 1 10 million).

Th® ’interests include an
18.75 per cent -stakera the
offshore Maui field and a 37.5
per cent stake in the onshore'
Kapuni fidd; both of which
produce gas and’ condensate
for local consumption..

BP win retain some financ¬
ing obligations for the Maui B
platform now being installed.
The sale does not affect BP°s
oil refining and marketing
interests in New Tfeatawfi' "

The company .will .also re¬
tain interests in forestry and
chemicals.

The deal is the. latest in a
series of disposals which re¬
flect BPs strategy of. focusing
on core interests and relinqui¬
shing assets which are consid¬
ered non-strategic.

Fall for Amer.

Amer, the diversified Finnish
consumer goodsgroup whose
shares are listed in London
and Helsinki, suffered a fall in
pre-tax profits from ;160 mil¬
lion marka (£22,86 million) to
FM66 million during the six
months to the end of June on
sales , of FM4.02 billion
(FM4.07 billion): EamingsfeU
from FM8.6 a share to FM3.5-

Technology

passes

dividend

By Philip Pangalgs

FORWARD Technology In¬
dustries,the ultrasonic clean¬
ing \ to video and .audio'
duplication eqinpment maker,
has passed its fruerim divi¬
dend after, the company
plunged into die red at the
halfway stage.

The. company reported a ,
pre-tax tossof£l. 13 million in
the six months to ead-June,
compared with a profit of
£925,000 last time. Turnover
climbed from £17,8 million to
£19.8 mil lion. -

Henry Prevezer, the chair-
map, said: “It now seems
probable that vxieo activity
wUT not meet projections as
customers* confidence in plac¬
ing orders for the Christmas
market has been eroded
following receivership of
Farkfidd Group.** “

The electronics division
made a trading loss , of
£538,000, gainst a profit of
£1.1 million last tune, on
turnover increased from £12.9
millioD to £142 million. . •

Mr Prevezer said: “Since
the onset of .the Gulf crisis,
there has been marked fell-off
in demand' in the electronics
division as customers foresee
a period of difficult trading.”

He added that the sound
and vision section showed a
“healthy increase” in video
activity, with volume ahead
65 per cent But additional
fixed costs to meet the antici¬
pated increase in volume re¬
sulted m reduced margins.
The division made a trading
loss of£92,000, against profits
of £147,000 previously,, on
turnover np from £4.97 mil¬
lion to £5.54 million.

However, it is feared that a
massive stodc overhang in the
sound and vision division,
where margins are already
under pressure, could lead to
losses of more than £1 million
in the current year.

There is no interim divi¬
dend, against 0-6p last time.
The board has “deferred
consideration of a dividend
until the full year's results are
known".

There is a 2p loss per share,
against earnings of I.7p last
time. Interest payments
jumped from £169.000 to
£302,000.

UBS Phillips & Drew, the
broker, has downgraded its
pre-tax profits forecast from
£2.75 million to £500,000 for
the current year.

Li jailed for
four years on
bribe charges

From Lulu Yu in hong kong

his way to prison

RONALD Li, former chair¬
man of the Hong Kong stock
exchange, has been sentenced
to four years' jail for two
counts of bribetaking.

Li, aged 61, was also
ordered to pay legal costs and
to forfeit nearly HKS900.000
{unfits he made on the corrupt
share deals.

He was convicted of two
charges of accepting preferen¬
tial allocations of shares as the
reward for supporting the
listing of Cathay Pacific Air¬
ways and Novel Enterprises
Limited in 1986 and 1987.

li showed no emotion as
the sentence was read out. His
lawyers said they would ap¬
peal against the conviction
wrut sentence.

John LLoyd-Eley, Li's
counsel, asked the judge to
consider Li's good character
abd his public services. Li*s
family bad suffered a great
deal since his arrest in 1988
because of the anxiety and the
disgrace of the charges. The ar¬
rest also effectively ended his
long career at the exchange.

Mr Uoyd-Eley added that
neither the exchange nor any
listed companies suffered as a
result of Lfs actions. Mr
Justice Kemal Bokhaly said

the offences were very serious,
as they involved corruption in
a high place.

He said that because Li was
a wealthy man, there was less
excuse to engage in corrupt
dealings but be was noi impos¬
ing a heavy sentence, because
of Li's good character and
charitable work. The maxi¬
mum penalty for charges
under the Prevention of Brib¬
ery Ordinance is seven years
jail and a fine of HKS500,000.

Mr David Mendick, the
secretary for monetary affairs,
said the government took the
decision to prosecute Li
because it did not want the
security system to be seen to
be abused.

Li still faces six charges of
accepting advantages as an
agent, along with Jeffrey Sun,
former chief executive of the

Production
of cars
for export
up by 73%

By Kevin Eason

MOTORING CORRESPONDENT

PRODUCTION of cars for
export jumped by 73.1 per
cent Iasi month to underline
the growing importance ol
overseas markets for British
manufacturers.

Figures issued yesterday by
the Society of Motor Manu¬
facturers and Traders showed
that cars built for sale abroad
increased to 36.765 from
21.242 in the same month of
last year.

Production was also up by
8.6 per cent at 110.548 com¬
pared with the 101.817 total
for September 1989. .

Exports have been vital to
helping car makers slave off
the worst of the fall in demand
in the home market, w ith sales
running about 12 per cent
below 1989's record totals.

Production of cars is down
by 5.3 per cem in ihe first nine
months, from 987.977 to
936.059. Exports have contin-.
ued to rise, reaching more
than 241,000 cars in the nine
months, compared with
l989*s total of 280.729.

The picture is not so bright
for commercial vehicle manu¬
facturers, with production in
September down 20.1 per cent
to 21,718. Exports were also
202 per cent down at 7.648.

Gerrard interim
profits increase

By Graham Searjeant. financial editor

GOOD positioning ahead of
the announcement of Britain's
entry into the European ex-
change-rate mechanism and
the cut in interest rates has
increased trading profits of
Gerrard & National Holdings,
the discount house group, at
the start of the second half of
its financial year.

There was mixed news for
shareholders from the first
half. Profits, which are not
disclosed at the interim stage,
were slightly higher in the six
months to October 5 than a
year earlier.

Gerrard has, however, been
forced to make a further
“significant" provision
against its undisclosed inner
reserves for the closure of its

small commercial banking op¬
erations. The group made an
unquantified significant pro¬
vision in its accounts for the
year to April 5. but this proved
insufficient because of the
effect of the economic down¬
turn on its loan portfolio.

Gerrard shares fell 7p to
278p. The interim dividend
has been doubled to 6p per
share to reduce the disparity
between interim and final
payment. The group paid I9p
for 1989-1990 as a whole.

GNi, the group’s futures
and options broking subsid¬
iary, has formed a new subsid¬
iary in Frankfort, to add to its
operations in London, Chi¬
cago and, via a joint venture,
in Paris.

its before tax from Ocean
Wilsons, the investment
group which owns a tugboat
operation in BraziL sliding
from £6.53 million to
£478,000 in the six months to
end-June, although the half¬
way dividend is held at 0.5p.
The group has also had to

Operating profit from

Lufthansa
back in
race for
Interflug

By Wolfgang Monchau .

EUROPEAN BUSINESS
CORRESPONDENT

LUFTHANSA, the. German,
state airline, has rejoined the
race for jtoterflugt the former
East German airiine, three
days after it dropped its bid for
26 per cent of the company.

An announcement by Luft¬
hansa indicated the com¬
pany’s wish to take over the
entire company. The com¬
pany confirmed that h was
holding talks yesterday with
the German transport min¬
istry .over the. foture of
Interflug.

Lufthansa; added that its
offer to restructure Iinerffug
stfll. stood and that it contin¬
ued ip be interested m an
investment in lnterfli^. :

According to reports by
DPA* the German news
agency, Lufthansa has. pro¬
posed a restructuring plan
under which it would take frill
control of the company by
July neset year.

The move would also result
in a cm in Jmerflug staff from
3,500 to 1,500. Until' then,
Lufthansa would be respon¬
sible as a trustee in charge of
the management of Interflug.

declined to. com¬
ment on the reports.

British Airways had also
held talks with the German
authorities -over a 49 per cent
stake, in Interflug. However,
British Airways is understood
to. have withdrawn from the
talks in return For guarantees
over the continuation of the
profitable routes it operates to
and from Berlin.

If Lufthansa wins backing
from the German transport
ministry, the -deal - will be
criticised by the Gentian car¬
tel office, which favours Brit¬
ish Airways as a partner for
Interflug.

A Lufthansa victory would
also draw criticism from Sir
Leon Brittan, the European
competition commissioner,
who, on several occasions, has
expressed concern over mar¬
ket monopolies as a result of
German unification.

Critics of a Lufthansa-
Interfluglink have argued that
the deal would give Lufthansa
a monopoly of access to all the
main cities of the former East
Germany.

They also say - Lufthansa-
would g?»m a competitive
advantage over other West

European carriers in respect of

access to. other eastern Euro¬
pean capitals.

Brazilian operations was just
£256,000, down from £6.16
million, and the group blames
the “Collor plan" which froze
80 per cent of bank and other
deposits in March, resulting in
lower interest income and the
inability to remit dividends
until the second half. The
company says it failed to take
full account of Brazil's 54 per
cent inflation in December in
its 1989 accounts, and pre-tax
profits are restated from £13.7
million to £9.71 million.

Motoring

Driving a classic car
could save com pany
executives tax and
bring back a few
motoring memories

H igh technology in 1955
was a Bakelite box '
housing the flickering
black nod white screen- -
of early television. Nautilus, Brit¬
ain’s furst nuclear sub ma rine, was
launched and Flash Gordon
thrilled children at Saturday
morning cinemas with his adven¬
tures in his space rockets.

Bakeiiie was left behind, while
Flash Gordon's mode of transport
was clearly a bit of Hollywood
jiggery-pokery, no more than a
puppet on a string powered by a
feeble firework.

Citroen, however, provided the
real thing that yean a car so
adventurous in design and en¬
gineering that the rest of the world
was still trying to copy its futuris¬
tic features decades later..

The Citroen DS startled the
motor industry when it was
unveiled at the 1955 Paris Motor
Slow. Apart from its aerodynamic'
shape, it had power steering, .
power-operated disc brakes and .
revolutionary hydropneumatic
suspension, starting a lineage of
technology and design that led to
the Gtroen XM becoming last
year’s European Car of the Year.

Over 20 years, 1.4 million DS
models were built, but remark¬
ably. only about 127,000 found
their way out of France. Most were .
used to pound the rural French
countryside and cobbled city
streets. The DS was a workhorse of
immense abilities then, and, ac¬
cording to Mark. Housden. could
be a workhorse again- an a com¬
pany car for British businessmen.
Mr Housden, who used to run a
design company, fell in love with
the DS in France and derided to
bring restored models to-Britain.

Driving a car ail least 20 years
old would fill most company
drivers with fear. Most of us forget
that compared with the modem
car, the models we once cherished
were a mixed bag of the unreliable
and the uncomfortable. Not so the
DS. with ns wonderful suspension
and upright, armchair-like seats.

Fully restored, with Connolly
leather and English wool carpets,
the DS could charm the most
hard-hearted of company drivers.
Mr Housden, a former BMW
driver, is convinced that many
motorists would happily exchange
their company Fords and Vaux-
halls for the quirky DS.

But an annual 10,000 miles is a

disproved his own reservations by

lengthens slightly to 30mpg cruis¬
ing happily on motorways.

That leaves the prospective
buyer to weigh up the price. Mr
Housden says that £12,000 will
buy a restored DS, complete with
luxury finishings.

The bonus is the joy of driving
something quite different. The
five-speed gear lever mounted on
the steering column takes only a
few minutes to master. The biggest
disadvantage is that the vehicles
are left-hand drive. But it requires
just a little extra confidence before
the pleasure seeps through.

Smell of burning
tyres and fivers

E very time a company car
driver screeches away from
the lights, he bums up
another £5 note belonging to his
employer. Fleet Management Ser¬
vices (FMS) calculates that tyre
wear is one of the great unsung
costs of running a company car
fleet, hidden, perhaps, by rising
fuel and servicing charges.

Few remember that tyre re¬
placement can be expensive and
that the cost, it seems, varies
substantially from manufacturer
to manufacturer. FMS's own
check shows that the performance
which is attracting so many driv¬
ers to Britain's most popular fleet
car, the Vauxhail Cavalier, can
lead to a penalty in extra tyre wear.

Derick Perkins, director of
maintenance control for the Mid¬
lands company, warns that driven
may love the extra power of the
Cavalier, but the trail of rubber
they may leave behind costs the
company operator money.

He says that in the category for
small models, Vauxhail cars —
such as Astras and Novas — have
the cheapest tyre costs, averaging
0.224p per mile up to 1.3 litres and
0.237p up to 1.6 litres. Most
expensive in each category is
Ford, which includes Fiestas and
Escorts, at 0.2S4p up to 1.3 litres,
and Rover, with its Metros and
Rover 200s. with 0.327p in the
range between 1.3 and 1.6 litres.
Vauxhall's position was re¬

versed in the section for cars up to
2.U litres. Cavaliers and Carltons
averaged up to 0.554p per mile
compared with Q.326p for Fords,
which has Sierras and Granadas in
that segment, and 0.343p Tor 2-
litre Rover 800 models.

FMS decided to estimate the
cost difference between running a
fleet of 100 1.8'litrc and 50 2.0-
litrc executive Fords and Vaux-
halls. The result was a resounding
saving with Ford cars.

Replacement tyres for that sam¬
ple fleet clocking up more than
20,000 miles a year would work
out to £29.460 compared with
£46,800 for the same fleet of
Vauxhalls. Mr Peridns says:
“While Vauxhail has a very good
range of vehicles, the torque or
power output produced is greater
for the higher engine capacity cars
than it is for Ford or Rover.

“This is why the yuppie com¬
pany car driver loves them. But
when he presses the throttle of his
Vauxhail I.S or 2.0-litre at traffic
lights, or slams on the brakes to
show off his emergency stop, he is
costing his company a fortune in
tyre replacement.”

The warning from FMS is all the
more pertinent given that the rules
and regulations governing tyre
tread depths will change from
January 1. 1991. Then cars, light
vans and trailers will be required
to have a tread depth of 1 . 6 mm
instead of the current 1 mm.

Wraps off new BMW

Facelift: the new-look BMW 3-series, launched to fight challengers

IN SPITE of the longer, falter look, the unmistakable grille shape of the
car gjves away the fact that this new model is a BMW. This is the first
official picture of the new 3-scries model, due in Britain next summer.
And the picture confirms a more aggressive look for the car. The 3-series
—a range which starts currently with a £12.500 1. 6 -Litre up to the £28.000
M3 version — was the foundation of BMW's huge growth in Britain
during the Eighties. Sales rose from 13,776 in 1982 to a peak of more
than 29.000 last year. Prices are likely to be higher, from £14,000 to
about £40.000. reflecting an expected nudee upmarket for the car. which
is being robustly challenged for the high quality image by manufacturers
such as Rover.

Fuel for
thought

H Forget the worries over
soaring petrol prices. German
scientists believe they may have
found the fuel of the future.
Engineers at Volkswagen and
VESA plan to develop engines
which run on b blend of rape
seed art.

The German government is
funding research, expected to cost
£1 million, based on years of
tests already carried out
Volkswagen, which has high
hopes of (he research, has worked
on rape seed engines as one of
its projects to find
alternative engines that will
reduce the need for petrol and
lesson the impact on the
environment.

VEBA says its oil development
unit believes a mixture of rape
seed oil and crude oil could be
used in trucks, which would
substantially help the economy
in impoverished eastern Germany,
where cheaper fuel is
needed by farmers and haulage
operators.

B Unscrupulous American
drivers, furious about petrol price
rises, are roaring off forecourts
without paying. This week's issue
of Autocar & Motor magazine
says that petrol companies are so
fed up that they are
considering imposing a pre¬
payment system which will
operate before drivers reach
the pumps.

B There are too many classic
car shows, according to the MG
Owners' Club. The club, which
has 52,000 members, says that
exhibition organizers are
diluting the value of shows by
stretching resources thinly. The
club wants just two or three big
shows annually at leading
venues, suen as the National
Exhibition Centre in
Birmingham.

■ A good start for the Nissan
Primera's sales assault on Europe.
The car, built at Washington,

Tyne and wear, has been voted car
of the year in Denmark by
motoring writers.

The Primera was 50 points
dear of the Citroen XM.

B Lancia is trying to dispel
doubts over heavy depreciation
costs ot Italian-built models.

The company says that a group of
six Dedra saloons, with average
mileage less than 10.000, retained
an encouraging 70 per cent of
their value at auction.

B Being stranded on the
roadside can be a worrying
experience for dnvers.

The Royal Automobile Club is
issuing a leaflet, "Safety ups for
motorists at nsk", intended
particularly for women and the
elderly, offering guidelines on
what to do it the car breaks down.

THE TIMES FRIDAY OCTOBER S9 1990

Your Own Business

Edited by Rodney Hobson

|V*. *

'<f As.

?■ r ■ vk'ri
*i. yf;'

A GR OUP of business people has.
TOnned an association based on
ibe philosophy that if surround-
jogs are improved, business will.'
flourish (Brian Collett writes).

The New Square'Mile Business
Association was set up in the area
of Hackney and Klihgtoii, dose to .
Uie City, by busines s people
frustrated by the dirt and decay of-
east London. The group has about
130 membere, mostly small bua-
nesses but including a few large
companies.

The association bas been so -
effective that some members now
believe it could be a model for
other districts where an unfriendly
environment Mights busi ness

Steve Grady, the chairman, and
manager of the Barclays Bank
Business Centre in City Road,
Islington, said: “The area seemed
to have been neglected by both
Hackney and Islington councils. '■
There had been too little spending
on die roads and CHd Street tube
station. Approaches by individ¬
uals did not work,but we have had ;
quite a degree of success.”

The association carried but an
environmental survey and sent a
report with photographs of the
worst hazards to the two councils.
The problems outlined by the
report included Utter, holes in. the
roads and damage to pavements,
all of which the association
considered were bad for business.
The problems were then attended
io. Mr Grady said. •

“We like to think that our
presence has forced the issue.

Existing organisations do not meet
' the need as we da We saw we had
to be punchy and hard-hitting. For
example. Old Street station was
scruffy and dirty. Islington, coun¬
cil, which is responsible for the
subways, has now tidied them up
and new lighting is being installed,

making the place safer and more
attractive." . - .

The association has provided
litter'bins, in co-operation with
the councils, and a dean-up group.
Mr Grady believes that when the
environment has been unproved
there will be more budness-to-
busmess activity.

Guild this association be foe
first of many in Britain? “We have
been thinlring that way," Mr
Grady said.

MR FRIDAY

“They're not the only ones."

world for some time, but until
Neil McGrigor set up Teacratc
Rentals, the system was not
available to foe public.

Mr McGrigor, aged 29, discov¬
ered that independent crate rental
companies sen/ed London's 540
removal businesses, but none
dealt with home moves.

. He formed foe company in
April to hire out polypropylene
crates to foe do-it-yourself home-
mover. His background of five
years woric in the City was
valuable. At the Britannia Security
Group, he dealt with mergers and
acquisitions and had experience of
organising cashflow and drawing
up business plans. The group even
had a crate rental subsidiary.

Mr McGrigor started the busi¬
ness under the government’s
E nte r p ri se Allowance scheme and
also raised £50,000 equity. He
took, premises opposite the BBC
Television Centre in Shepherd’s
Bush, and the BBC became one of
his clients.

Although Mr McGrigor supplies
corporate bodies and removal
companies, which deal mostly
with commercial moves, he also
provides a service for individuals.
At least half of Teacrate's clients
are now home movers.

Pan of the company's success
lies in the colour coding system it
uses. The colour of a crate can
denote the type of contents or the
room from which it has been
filled.

Mr McGrigor chose foe name
Teacrate to associate it in his
customers’ minds with tea chests.

Stacking up business: NeQ McGrigor and Christine Little with their Teacrate containers

the traditional house contents
containers that his crates replace.
He had forecast a first-year turn¬
over of £41,000, followed by
£121.000 in the second year. “We
are now where we had budgeted to
be in January’ 1991," he said.

Despite foe slump in the house
market, business has been so brisk
that foe company has nearly run
out of crates on two occasions.
“Both times a new supply of crates
came in and went out the same
day," Mr McGrigor said. “Once
we had to redirect foe delivery
truck straight to foe cheat. That
was for too close for comfort.”

Mr McGrigor said: “We are

finding that client satisfaction is
our best advertising. We have not
had to do too much marketing.
Word of mouth has done most of
it for us." Teacrate also distributes
brochures to estate agents and
truck rental operators.

The continuing growth of the
business in the domestic market
may limit its activities to London
for some time. Mr McGrigor
explained: “The crate rental busi¬
ness is so underdeveloped and so
big potentially that I could exist on
London trade alone."

He even refused an offer to link
with a company in Paris, where
there is a large market Mr

McGrigor sees the simplicity of
crate renting as one of foe factors
in the company’s success. The
business is free of high technology,
so there is less to go wrong
mechanically with the product
and it requires few staff.

The company consists of Mr
McGrigor. his brother. Kenneth.
Christine Little, whose previous
experience includes public rela¬
tions, and two drivers.

Mr McGrigor said: “It is all very-
exciting and vastly more satisfying
than working in the City. But the
key has been attention to detail.
Wc have to count in and count out
every single crate.”

An unlikely hero
dooms Oakland
to another defeat

A concerto for steering wheel played at concert pit ch

Cincinnati

JOSE Canseco is probably ihc
best baseball player in the
world. He is a pivotal part of
the Oakland A's machine.
Oakland A's, everyone said
before the World Series began
here on Tuesday, were un¬
questionably the test team in
baseball.

The A's are ossum. Canseco
is ossum. Canseco's salary is
ossum — $23.5 million over
five years would certainly help
with the mongage repay¬
ments. Everything was set.
then, for the 1990 World
Series to be a showcase for the
colossal talents of baseball's
No. 1 power-hitter.

No one writing a World
Series preview paid much
attention to Billy Bates. Bates
had not managed so much as a
hit in anger for the Cincinnati
Reds (a hit being the achieve¬
ment in reaching first base by
your own efforts 1 . He had had
only three hits in his brief
major league career.

Canseco is 26.6ft 4in. walks
with a superstar's slouch, and
has a neat haircut. You can
recognise him because of the
five dozen reporters around
him. Bates is 26 and 5ft 8in.
He has batted eight times for
the Reds this season, and teen
in their starting line-up once.
The Reds' manager. Lou
Piniella, might well have left
him out of the roster fOT the
World Series. “I was just
happy to be part of the team."
Bates said.

Which brings us to game
two of the World Series on
Wednesday night here: a game
that began with a mighty
display of the power of Oak¬
land and of Canseco — and
ended with Billy Bates whose
late night heroics gave Reds a
5-4 win in the tenth inning.
There are nine innings in a
baseball game, but when the
sides are level, they just carry
on until the tie is broken.

.All in all. this was a per¬
fectly wonderful night of
sport. Baseball is a game in
which situations gradually de¬
velop: tensions slowly gather.

and can be released in one
sudden blow. Wednesday
night's game was sporting
drama of the the most per¬
fectly fashioned kind.

Oakland began by scoring a
run almost effortlessly in the
first inning: the dashing
Rickey Henderson working
his way around the bases one
by one. In the third, the A's
moved to 4-1. Canseco hit a
home run with one of those
uncanny shots you expect to
see only in cricket: the merest
tap that sends the ball soaring
into outer space.

"This is the real A's you're

me. The Reds were deep in
trouble and their pitcher
Danny Jackson was even
deeper. He was withdrawn
after conceding all those runs
in the third. Cincinnati looked
demoralised, it seemed that
we were in tor a rout.

Bui the wild events of the
night were only beginning.
One after another, the Reds’
relief pitchers regained con¬

did not score again.

Cincinnati pulled back a

steps up to bat, he gets a hit.

He is batting 1.000: a base¬

hit four- doubles, a triple and
two singles. He has reached
base in his first nine at-bats.
His seventh consecutive hit

Cinders zips off with TV prince

By Andy Martin

RALLYING, traditionally per¬
ceived as an Ugly Sister to Formula
One, has a chance of becoming a
late-flowering Cinderella by marry¬
ing the handsome prince of tele¬
vision broadcasting. Like a Ski
Sunday on wheels, the Mobil 1 Rally
Challenge, to be broadcast on BBC's
Grandstand a week tomorrow,
promises to deliver the most
compelling coverage of the sport yet

The Mobil I Challenge is half
sports event, half swashbuckling
television serial, a drama in five
weekly episodes with a cast of six
leading drivers. The conventional
rally format has been compressed to
fit the demands of filming. In the
Mobil 1, cars are not pursued by
other cars but by swivelling lenses.

An array of miniature cameras
mounted on back seats, wing mir¬
rors and, at one point, an exhaust
pipe, and a small army of camera¬
men posted along the course, are
intended to put the viewer at home
inside the cockpit of a 130m ph rally
car flirting with disaster.

Steve Rider, of the BBC, who first
floated the idea and supplies the
commentary, says: "Rallying is a
great sport, very exciting and sophis¬
ticated, and television hasn't got a
prayer of covering it unless we adapt
it for the camera.”

There is a school of thought that
holds that the made-for-tekvision
rally is as contrived as abbreviated
football to accommodate commer¬
cials. But Tony Newsum, of the

RAC Motor Sports Association,
describes the Mobil l as “an
authentic microcosm of the Lom¬
bard RAC Rally", conforming with
all the regulations for an inter¬
national rally competition. Like the
successful Channel 4 series on sumo
wrestling, the programmes promise
to educate and seduce the
uninitiated.

Perhaps the fascination of rallying
is that it is a metaphor of human
history since the invention of the
wheel. You take an unsuspecting
slice of countryside and a hunk of
technology and mix the two at high
speed. At Gale Rigg, outside Scar¬
borough, a steam train puffed by in
the valley below and a jet fighter
roared overhead as the cars zoomed
along a gravel track, trailing clouds
of dust behind them.

The five stages, spread around
Wales, Yorkshire and the Isle of
Man, juxtapose men looking like
astronauts with pink-washed farm¬
houses and garden paths, flaming
exhausts with sheep safely grazing.
Font Sierra Cosworths with ancient
burial grounds.

Alessandro Fiorio took me
through one stage in his Lancia-
Delta HF Integrate 16v. When he
put his foot down, the G-force tried
to push me out through the boot; it
was like going through die Star Gate
in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Suddenly,

I was to another dimension in which
forests, forms, hillsides had been fed
into a liquidiser and were being
sprayed at me in a torrent.

People asked afterwards if I had

been afraid. The troth is that I was
beyond terror. I was awestruck.
Fiorio was not so much a driver as a
virtuoso, a one-man orchestra play¬
ing a concerto for steering wheel,
wrth pedals and six-speed gearbox
accompaniment, and never striking
a false note. My life was in the hands
of a maestro. If the programmes
manage to reproduce this experi¬
ence. anyone with a weak heart
should watch something a little
tamer, such as Jaws or Atien.

I asked Fiorio what the secret of
rallying was,'“Go straight*’, he said.
The stage was nothing but twists and.
turns, but be wasn’t joking. The art
of the rally driver consists in
minimising all deviations lb the
ideal straight line. I saw one car take
off on a crest and leap 30 feel with
the engine gunning all the way.

The driver was Pentti Ainkkala,
winner of last yearns Lombard RAC
He isaFinn with an English sense of
humour. “The only problem with
being airborne is steering," he said.
"There are just two things you can
do in a rally car — accelerate as fast
as you can or brake as faarcLas you.
can: there's nothing in between. If
there is, someone else is doing it
better than you.”

Maybe it is because they are.
racing against the dock rather than
directly against one another that
there is a healthy spirit of camarade¬
rie among the drivers. When David.
LteweOin, the British Open rally
champion, hit a nit on one stage that
nearly overturned his car, he warned
the next man out of the hazard. You -

will not find anything like that in
Formula One.

Airikkala, m contrast, stresses
that “rallying is a very mental
spoctV, requiring laser-like
concentration- He scorns mere bra¬
vado. "The thing is to know your
limits and drive within them.”

Airikkala-came off a bend too fast
and went through a farmyard gale
after a failure of communication
between driver and co-driver — a
mishap, since repeated a hundred
times in the credits of Grandstand.
"Fortunately, they lost the sound,"
hesaid. ;

The Mobil 1 may have missed a
golden opportunity to publicise
environmentally friendly products.
From the point of view of manufac¬
turers, a rally is a laboratory and a
5howropm,.a chance for Research
and Development to test its innova¬
tions and for marketing to lay out its
Stall. Rallying is increasingly ecol¬
ogy-conscious and at least one of the
cars boasted Unleaded petrol. But
where were The catalytic converters?

are Louse Aitken-Walker, the high¬
est ranked woman on the world
circuit; Stig Blomqvist, the Mobil 1
champion; and Malcolm Wilson,
Ford’s British works driver.

world women’s championships.

As England rested here yes¬
terday in preparation for a team
semi-final against New Zealand
— Australia meet Germany in
the second semi-final — the
1SRF refereeing chairman, Tony
Swift, acknowledged that
communication between play¬
ers and re ferees was a mounting
problem throughout the world.

"1 think the refereeing has
been generally good here, but
the players have been critical
and the press has picked up on
their comments." Swift said.

“The problems seemed to
stem from a decision here to
toughen our attitude on mar¬
ginal baulking in the back

corners of the court when
moving back to the tee. The
women’s players association ac¬
tually asked for this, but perhaps
we should have made it ab¬
solutely clear to all the players
individually, that we were mov¬
ing in this direction.”

Usa Opte alleged “Aussie
bias" here when two successive
penalty strokes cost her a quar¬
ter-final against Robyn
Lambourne. Martine Le
Moignan said after losing the
individual final to Susan Devoy
that the refereeing was “the
worst 1 have ever seen”.

Far from accepting Swift's
point on tougher refereeing, Le
Moignan insisted that penalty
strokes could be gained here
merely by lifting a racket. She
was even critical of the un¬
demanding refereeing in her
title-winning match.

Local headlines such as “Refs
cop a blast" and “Referee takes
rap" were not greatly enjoyed by
officials bound by their own

roles from offering their views.

Even at the highest pro¬
fessional levels, refer e es arc
amateur enthusiasts who count
themselves fortunate if they
receive marginal expenses.

“It takes a special sort of
person to make a squash ref¬
eree," Swift said. “Not ail
players seem to acknowledge
their importance to the dev¬
elopment of the game.

“Player education may be as
much an issue as refereeing
incompetence. Certainly we can
only benefit from greater
communication and com¬
pulsory pre-tournament brief¬
ings may be the only way.”

initially the result of retaliation

Mr Oiadehinde: Mr Michael

pan nick for the secretary of
state.

LORD GRIFFITHS said that
each of the appellants was
subject to control under the
Immigration Ad 1971.

The first had taken employ-
mem and so had not observed
the condition upon which he
had been given leave to enter as
a student. The second had been
an overs layer since Apnl 1985.
Therefore each appellant was
liable to deportation pursuant to
section 3(5Xa) of the 1971 ACL

II was obvious that the sec¬
retary of state could not person¬
ally take every decision to
deport an immigrant in breach
of his condition of entry or who
was an overstaycr. The decision
had to be taken by a person of
suitable seniority in the Home
Office for whom the secretary of
state accepted responsibility.

That devolution of respon¬
sibility had been recognised as a

practical necessity in the admin¬
istration of government by the
COurt of Appeal in Cariiona Ltd
v Commissioner of Works
([1943) 2 All HR 560).

In 1988 the secretary of state
had derided that the initial
derision to deport an immigrant
liable to deportation under sec¬
tion 3(5Xa) should in future be
taken by an inspector in the
immigration service and not by
a civil servant in the deportation
section.

An inspector was of the
equivalent grade to those in the
deportation section who bad
previously been taking the de¬
rision to deport in section
3(5Xa)i cases. Not all inspectors
were given that authority.

It was limned to M out of a
total of 52 inspectors and their
authority was further limited to
cases in which they had not
previously been involved as
immigration officers. Those
nominated were all persons of
long service and experience in
the immigration service.

There was no dispute that
both appellants were liable to be
deponed. The initial decision to
deport was in a sense pro¬
visional as the case was again
reviewed before the secretary of
state was invited to sign the
deportation order.

His Lordship appreciated,
however, that the initial de¬

cision was a serious matter
setting in motion the deporta¬
tion procedure which would
gather a momentum that might
be difficult to reverse.

Dealing first with a sub¬
mission that the derision to
deport was taken by the im¬
migration officers concerned
and not by the inspectors, there
was no evidence to support that
submission, which was based
upon the suspicion that there
could not be a full appreciation
of the case as a result of a
telephone conversation.

His Lordship confessed him¬
self to some unease about the
practice of taking the derision to
deport in that way, but it was
not a practice introduced as a
result of giving inspectors the
power to take the decision. It
had been first introduced in
1986 when decisions ware still
taken in the deportation section.

It seemed to bis Lordship that
it would be much more satisfac¬
tory if whoever was responsible
for taking the decision had the
opportunity to consider a writ¬
ten report, including any
representations on behalf of the
immigrant, before taking the
derision.

There was. however, a prac¬
tical difficulty in that the power
to detain only arose after service
of the notice of intention to
deport, so unless the immigrant

was held in custody for the
purpose of taking criminal
proceedings against him, he
could noi be detained for a short
period while the written report
was being considered: and by
the time a written report had
been considered and a decision
taken the immigrant might well
have disappeared.

What seemed to his Lordship
to be required was a power to
detain for a short period while
the report was considered. How¬
ever that might be. both inspec¬
tors bad sworn affidavits that
they had received full oral
reports of the results of the
interviews with the immigrants
and that they had personally
taken the decision in the light of
those reports to authorise ser¬
vice of (he notice to deport.

Turning to the principal issue,
it had been submined that
immigration officers were the
holders of a statutory office and
as such were independent of the
executive arm of government
and could not have devolved
upon them any of the exec¬
utive’s powers.

Therefore it was said that the
Caritona principle could not
extend to cover the exercise of
the secretary of state's powers by
an immigration inspector.

Alternatively, it was submit¬
ted that if immigration officers
were civil servants in the Home

Office the structure of (be Act,
which differentiated between
the powers of immigration offi¬
cers which were primarily con¬
cerned with entry control and
subsequent policing of illegal
immigrants, and the powers of
the secretary of stale in relation
to deportation, carried wife it a
dear statutory implication that
the powers of the secretary of
state were not to be exercised by
immigration officers.

His Lordship could not accept
either submission. The status of
immigration officers was not
that of statutory office holders
such as adjudicators or mem-'
bers of appeal tribunals wbo
were referred to in the .1971 Act
as office holders. Immigration
officers were civil servants in
the Home Office to whom were
assigned specific statutory du¬
nes under the Act.

Parliament could of course
limit a minister's power to
devolve a decision and require
him to exercise it in person.
There were three examples of
such a limitation in the 1971
Act: sections 13(5), 14(3) and
15(4).

There was no such limitation
in respect of the decision to
deport, nor would the Act be
workable if there was such a
limitation. Where his Lordship
found in a statute three explicit
limitations on the secretary of

state’s power to devolve he
should be very slow to read into'
the statute a further implicit
limitation.

The immigration service was
comprised of Home Office civil
servants for whom the secretary
of state was responsible and
there; was no reason .why he
should not authorize members
of that service to lake decisions
undo 1 the Carhona principle,
providing they did not'conflict
with, or embarrass them in, the
discharge of their specific statu¬
tory duties under the Act and
that the decisions were suitable
to their grading and experience;

There had been a suggestion:
that because immigration offi¬
cer were primarily concerned
with control of entry and polio,
ing functions in respect ofiUegal
immigrants there might be an -
ethos m the service that would
lead too readily to a decision to

deport.

There .was no Evidence to
support that suggestion and.no .
reason why senior members of

the sovice should be tarred with
that image; and In any event-
their decisions were reviewed in
the deportation department be¬
fore the order was signed by the
secretary of state.

The final question concerned"
the scope or the appeal against
the decision to deport provided .
by section 5 of the lm uujpntion.

Act 1988. In passing the 1988
- Act, .Parliament had taken the
decision to curtail the appellate
powers of adjudicators which
had under section 19(1) of the
1971 Act enabled an adjudicator
. to. substitute his own discretion.
for that of the secretary of state.

That the adjudicator could ao
longer do. Section 5(1) confined <*
the adjudicator to considering
whether or not in a given case
the evidence established that the
immigrant was liable loteporte-
tion on the grounds staled mtfte
notice of the decision to deport.

There was no question unite
present appeals that ttere was in
law power to make the deporta-
tion orders,The adjudicator had
no jnrisdiefion to enquire into '
ihe propriety of the secretary of
state’s decision to allow .inh
' migration inspectors.to take Che
decision, to deport, itor bad be .
junachction uy enquire uno ■'*
whether the decision had been
taken by the immigration'Offi-
cm and not tty. the inspectors.

Those were matters refitting to
exercise of the power.amf not
with the existence of the power

and were property the subject of

judicial review.

Bog; Tirotter impressed
.when w inning the Champagne
Stakes at Doncaster even

allowing for the fact that the
favourite Bravefoot was later
found to have been doped. He
then disappointed to some
extent next time out when
beaten by Peter Davies over
today’s course and distance a
fortnight ago. Admittedly, he
was trying to give the winner
6ib, but it was still a bit of a
let-down.

On his debut. Beg Trotter
had shown -plenty of promise
at York where he finished_2y*
lengths behind Sedair from
whom he -was receiving 71b.
Now they meet on equal
terms.

A line through Mac’s Imp
gives Generous no chance of
beating Mujtabkl, while Stark
South, the Irish challenger,
does not look good enough
having finished only fifth in

the Cartier Million five days
ago.

Lester Piggott returns to
race riding at group one level
on Surrealist in place of
Michael Hills, who was con¬
cussed after falling at Wolver¬
hampton on Wednesday.
Surrealist should run w«l
following that promising ef¬
fort at Sandown last time.

Today's nap is reserved for
Crystal Gazing (3.51, who
made many friends at Ascot
last time with her impressive
performance in winning the
Blue Seal Stakes. She should
be capable of also winning the
Bottisham Heath Stud
Rocld'd Stakes -

The Baring International
Darley Stakes can be best left
to Raj Waki, who won de¬
cisively here a fortnight ago.

By Rich*rd Evans
PAT Eddery suffered from the
cricketer’s complaint of the
nervous nineties yesterday as he
failed to add to his telly of 198
winners and join Fred Archer,
Sir Gordon Richards and
Tommy Loaies as double
centurions of Flat racing.

The nearest he came 10 find¬
ing the winning enclosure from
three rides was on Ansban. an
uneasy 9-4 favourite for the
Jameson Irish Whiskey Chall¬
enge Stakes, but heaven and
earth intervened.

A sudden downpour, not to
mention lightning, was never
goiiw to help John Gosden's
confirmed fast-ground lover.
Even so, the horse appeared 10
be cruising on the rain-soddened
turf as he challenged the front
running Blue Room two fur¬
longs ouL Suddenly, the-colt hit
a patch of loose ground and
temporarily lost his action.

By the time Anshan had
recovered, Sally Rous had burst
through and won comfortably
by 2 1 * lengths. In fairness,
Anshan would have been hard
pressed to match the turn of foot
displayed by Geoffrey Wragg’s
filly.

“I have always thought she
wanted a line bit of cui in the
ground and she has appreciated
it today. She deserved the race
anyway,” said Wragg, who will
now send the horse to the
Budweiser Breeders* Cup
Handicap at Aqueduct over a
mile.

While Eddery left the course
without a winner, he was more
fortunate than Seamus

a horrific pile-up in the opening

Elsworth wants rain for Dettori wins

DESERT Orchid's scheduled

hinges on the weather.

The grey is an intended

rain if he is going to run there.
The ground is firm at the

get sufficient rain to ease the

“Dessie is in great form and

RUGBY UNION

International Board

to keep firm grip
on commercial reins

By David Hands, rugby correspondent

THE relaxation of rugby
union’s a mateu r regulations
*ul not mean an outbreak of
rampant commercialism
among the 16 teams who
compete for the World Cup in
Britain, Ireland and France
nest year. “We lay down the
commercial parameters,”
Keith Rowlands, secretary to
Rugby World Cup (RWC),

said yesterday.

Rowlands, who is also sec¬
retary to the International
Rugby Football Board (IRFB)
which last week decided that
players could profit from such
act iviti es as advertising,
endorsements and media
work, was speaking at a Rugby
Union Writers* Cub lunch in
London where the guests in¬
cluded Russ Thomas and
Marcel Martin, two of the
three directors of RWC Ltd.

Daring the inaugural World
Cup in New Zealand and
Aujfralia in 1987, overseas
teams were interested to find

New Zealand internationals
advertising a variety of prod¬
ucts on television and in
magazines.

Since then restrictions on
players benefitingdirectly
from such activities have been
removed but Rowlands said:
“No World Cup squad can
sign a commercial agreement
for its own promotion within
the context of the tournament

“They can only develop the
commercial opportunities
that we [RWC] release. Every¬
thing has to go through RWC
who lay down the participa¬
tion agreement which all
competing teams must sign.”

Clearly RWC can afford no
contractual difficulties with
the major tournament spon¬
sors, though who they will be
has yet to be announced.
Thomas, chairman of RWC,
declined to fuel speculation
either about the likely money
to be made or when sponsor¬
ship announcements would be

Oxford conclusion

weakens potential

By Peter Bills

OXFORD University look cer¬
tain to face Cambridge in the
University match without three
of their available internationals
now that six months of infight¬
ing at the club, arguments over
constitutional amendments and
disputes concerning the com¬
mittee and certain leading play¬
ers have been resolved.

Brian Smith. Iasi year's cap¬
tain and an Irish international,
will not play for Oxford again,
and. unless there is an injury
crisis, nor will the Australian
international. Troy Coker, or
the United States light-head
prop. Don James. However, the
United States international
wing. Gary Hein, makes his first
appearance of the term in ihc
first XV tomorrow.

Both James and another
bluest ill at Oxford, the loose-
head prop. Morgan Jones, who
is an Australian under-2 j inter¬
national, have joined Harle¬
quins and are expected to play
for the second XV this weekend.

This will seriously weaken
Oxford’s chances in the Univer¬
sity match, but the lack of a
respected mediator has meant
positions have become
entrenched

However, James. Hein and

Jones did accept the dictate of
the captain. Mark Egan, that
they would first have to play in
the junior side, the Greyhounds,
if they wonted to win back their
places in the first XV. They did
this last weekend.

Despite that, Egan then told
them that they would have to
continue playing for the Grey¬
hounds unless injuries or poor
form forced changes. James and
Jones refused to accept this and
joined Harlequins,though they
are still eligible for Oxford. Hein
is believed to have been brought
back because the Oxford side is
weaker on (he wings than at
prop.

Egan said: **lt is very unlikely
these guys will be back in the
blues side. If they wanted to be
in contention for a place they
would have to be playing at the
club. But we understand each
others' position. Now. I want to
concentrate totally on a tough
series of matches."

Janies said: “1 am definitely
upset I am not back in the
Oxford team. As blues, we never
lost our places for playing
reasons. I don’t feel it was right
to begin with and I don’t feel it is
right now. how we have been
treated-"

made.

Alan Callan, RWCs
commercial advisor, has pro¬
jected eight major sponsors
contributing £16 million for
advertising rights but Martin,
who ofversees RWC*s
commercial ami based in
Rotterdam, said that Callan’s
role was as a broker seeking to
create a maximum figure.

“Our role is not to an¬
nounce figures we do not
know we can achieve,” be
added, “although we would
tike to achieve Mr Callan’s
objective.”

Whatever surplus accu¬
mulates from the 1991 tour¬
nament will be distributed
according to the advice of a
specially-established trust.
After the completion of the
tournament the first two
World Cups will be analysed
and it is unlikely that future
tournaments will be distrib¬
uted among several countries.

It is hoped that a decision
can be made by the IRFB on
the 1995 venue — for which
South Africa, Canada, Argen¬
tina and Japan have applied —
by the end of next year.

Next year’s tournament in¬
cludes major changes in the
refereeing structure, in that
the additional qualifying
games required have given
RWC the opportunity to as¬
sess the potential of officials
from associate-member
countries.

ITY centre stage with
satellite as bit players

THE next round of the four
home unions' television rugby
contracts will soon be derided.
Whereas this was once the sole
preserve of Che BBC. it is no
longer. Over the last four years.
ITV has shown increased in¬
terest so that, although it failed
to secure the home contract last

successfully for the World Cup

France deride for themselves
in Paris. Just as ITV wrested the
World Cup contract from the
BBC. so Canal Plus won the
contract from the established
Antcnne 2. which lias always
televised rugby in France.

What is likely to inhibit the
proposals in Britain is (hat. as
well as the coverage of the
international matches, the con¬
tract will insist that there is a
weekly rugby programme which
will caver dub matches and that
this programme, one way or
another, should give coverage
throughout the United King¬
dom and Ireland. This pro¬
vision is satisfied at present by
Sunday's Rugby Special on
BBC'J. It is not a provision that
is happily accepted.

This programme has never
fully recaptured the interest and
following since it was decided to
remove it from the early Sat¬
urday evening slot, where it
began its long but. since ihcn.
always uncertain hfc. In the
early days of the programme it
captured its audience, at the
dub bar or at home, with its
immediacy and sense of excite¬
ment.

There is no mass appeal in
dub rugby. At any rate, to be so
placed was a luxury for the
programme and. sure enough,
chasing the early evening ratings
at a time when BBC 2 felt it.
necessary to go in search of large
audiences ensured its removal
from a prime slot. That golden
moment in Rugby Special S fife
has never been recaptured.
Since then, no one has been
quite certain what to do with the
programme as it has shilled,
hither and yon.

It is interna I ional rugby that
grabs the viewer by the collar
and draw-s him near. At those
moments, it inspires soap opera
viewing figures. But at no other
lime is ihis the case and it would
be foolish to think otherwise.

The impression remains that
the programme is accepted only-
in the sense of a loss leader to
win the main prize. The rugby
authorities know it. No other
amateur sport can demand an
hour-long weekly programme

devoted entirely to it for eight
months.

Without the option of Chan¬
nel 4. which is not in the least
interested in rugby football. ITV
will have no truck with such a
programme. What is of interest
is unquestionably the five inter¬
national weekends with one or
two items, such as the Univer¬
sity match, thrown in. They
could make a good case. __

In Wales it is different. The
Welsh Rugby Union could quite
easily do without this Rugby
Special provision within the
international contract. They,
unlike the others, arc in a seller's
market. Apart from special
occasions (six in Scotland and
three in Ireland when they can
opt out) Rugby Special provides
a blanket transmission
centralised in London.

BBC Wales, on its channel,
has always transmitted its own
rugby programme on Sunday.
HTV. too. even within the
limits imposed by the rugby
contract, gives widespread
coverage.

Thus both companies are
competing for such coverage of
club fixtures which is the envy
of the other countries. Welsh
rugby is so well served that the
WRU. understandably, would
like a freer hand to negotiate
separately and not lo be tied
necessarily to the company
which wins the international
contract.

Another matter of deep in¬
terest will be who owns the
secondary rights (overseas sales,
sales of videos, etc). Wales.
Ireland and Scotland have rel ied
on BBC Enterprises. England
decided a couple of years ago to
do their own sales and market¬
ing oral! their Twickenham and
club matches. But it appears that
they may not have done as well
as the others.

A windfall cheque of£140.OOO
landed on the other unions*
desks recently as a result of BBC

Enterprises' efforts. This was
largely because of international
matches. For Wales, of this only
£7,000 came from club games.
This, they fed. is an area for
improvement.

This is an area. loo. which in
the submissions put before the
four home unions committee in
November could give the BBC,
with its enterprise arm. useful
commercial leverage in any
comprehensive package it puts
forward in competition with
ITV.

WAYNE Shelford, the New

in his debut for Northampton in
their 19-19 draw with Manly on
Wednesday, lias been named
only as a replacement for his
new club's game against Cam¬

(David Hands writes).

Shelford. who played only 72
hours after arriving in England,
has a slight throat inlvciiun
anyway. “Monday was the first
time I had trained for 12 days.”
he said. "A couple of games to

get me oa the road and I'll be
right.”

While he serves his 12-week
period of eligibility before play¬
ing in English competitions, he
will have the opponunity to
play for various guest teams
and. os well as appearing for the

YACHTING

IAN STEWART

two years

By Alan Lee

CRICKET CORRESPONDENT

Over 30 extra inter¬
nationals have been played to
produce the 16 finalists, of
whom none are likely to play
more games than
Netherlands, handled by ref¬
erees from all over the world- ,

“We have every intention of !
inviting referees from asso- ■
date-member countries to the
finals,” Martin said. “Some of
those we have seen have been
good, some not so good but all
have been watched by people
who assess referees regularly.

“That assessment panel will
remain in being during the
1991 tournament, so that the
assignment of games will be
done by a group known and
accepted by the referees them¬
selves. The best players de¬
serve the best referees, though ,
obviously the principle of
neutrality will continue to be !
observed.”

SOME careens will be made and
some marred by England’s
Ashes tour but Micky Stewart's
is no longer at risk. Stewart
disclosed, before boarding the
flight to Australia last night that
his position as England team
manager was safe for another

two years.

Stewart has been granted an
extension of his contract with
the Test and County Cricket
Board, securing his job until the
end of the 1992 English season,
by which ti me he will be past his
sixtieth birthday and presum¬
ably ready io hand over to a
younger man.

This move summarily ends
the speculation that Stewart,
who began his management
duties on the last full Australian
tour four years ago. might soon
give way to the former Essex
and England captain. Keith
Fletcher, who fulfils a similar
role on England's A team tours.

With the likelihood, antipo¬
dean disasters notwithstanding,
that Graham Gooch will con¬
tinue as captain in the foresee¬
able future, there was good
reason lo support a progression
ofhis partnership with Fletcher,
which has been productive at
county level.

But it now seems that Fletcher
is not yet anxious for a job with
the high public profile de¬
manded of a team manager and
that Stewart is far from keen to
relinquish his post just when
there arc signs of a genuine
revival in England's Test
standing.

The way that Stewart ap¬
proaches his job docs not endear
him to everyone, as two of his
former captains. Chris Cowdrey
and David Gower, would tes¬
tify. His style has sometimes
resembled that of a football
manager and he has got along
best with those who share his
background and outlook, nota¬
bly Mike Gauing and Gooch.

During Gatling's time as cap¬
tain. Stewart had a tendency to
align himself dangerously with
his players and regard all criti¬
cism with resentful indignation,
even when certain atrocities
were committed on the field

Trying to

chances of

By Barry Picktmall

Straight as a tie: Malcolm makes Fraser ship-shape for England’s photo-call

amounted to condonemeni.

places has largely eradicated this
trend, however, and since being
reunited with Gooch for the
Caribbean tour earlier this year,
Stewart has attracted little else
but compliments, even if his
management still fells delib¬
erately short on communication
and public relations.

Industrious to the point of an

addiction to detail Stewart has
worked tirelessly for English
cricket these past few years and
his recurrent theme, the need to
reform the county programme,
wins wholehearted support from
my direction. Unlike many
former players of his generation,
he has adapted fully to the
changed modern game.

In confirming bis new agree¬
ment yesterday, Stewart said:
“My initial contract was due to
expire in April of 1991 but I was
told verbally a few months ago

' that it would be extended to the
end of the 1992 summer and I
now have this in writing.”

Stewart will thus remain in
charge through next summer's
series against West Indies, the
World Cup in early 1992 and the
visit of Pakistan lo this country
later that year. He commented:
”1 am pleased to be given the
chance to continue the policies
we have begun. The target must
be to reach the No. 1 position in
world cricket and I hope it could
happen in my time.”

A STRONG line-up of sailing
and medical experts take to the
stage tomorrow at The Times-
Royal Ocean Racing Club
Safety at Sea Conference in the
search for improved man-over-
board location and recovery,
systems-

The problems of saving life
and stopping crew from felling
overboard in the first place was
highlighted only two weeks ago.
when a crewman died amid a

fleet of yachts in the Solent after
felting through the lifelines on
his own yacht during a gybing
manoeuvre.

In another incident earlier
this summer, a crewman was.
lost overboard at night from a
-yacht in the Bay of Biscay,
despite taking the precaution of
wearing a safety harness and
dipping himself to a jack stay.

The harness design failed to
restrain him against the force of
water, and he was found the
folio wing morning, still buckled
up and connected to the boat.

Among the panel, chaired by
Alan Green, the race director of
the Royal Ocean Racing Club
(RORCl. is Dr Richard Allen, a
survival experl who has led the
research into several new loca¬
tion and recovery systems; Peter
Blake, the highly experienced
winner of Iasi winter's Whit¬
bread round the world race, and
John Chittenden, the skipper of
Creightons Naturally, who suf¬
fered the nightmare of recover¬
ing two of his crew in the
Southern Ocean. Bart van den
Dewy, the lucky survivor from
that incident, will also talk of his
harrowing experience.

The conference takes place at
the Boldrcwood conference
centre at Southampton Univer¬
sity from 2pm to 5pm. Tickets
priced at £6. which include
safety papers, are available ei¬
ther from RORC or at the door.

New Zealand fail before fire and fury

From Qamar Ahmed

IN LAHORE

NEW Zealand's batsmen failed
in face of the fire and fuiy of
Pakistan's fast bowlers and the
wrist spin of Abdul Qadir. when
they were bowled out for only
160 in their first innings on the
first day of the second Test
match at the National Stadium
here yesterday. In reply. Paki¬
stan scored 43 without loss.

The decision by Martin
Crowe, the New Zealand cap¬
tain, to bat fiist after winning
the toss backfired as none of the
batsmen was able to negotiate
the venomous pare of Wasim
Akram, Waqar Younis. Aaqib
Javed and Saleem Jaffcr, who,
as expected, was included in
place of the off spinner. Tauseef
Ahmed. Thai was the only
change from the first Test
which New Zealand lost by an
innings and 43 runs.

Abdul Qadir. the leg spinner,
was no less menacing as he
picked up two wickets in four
balls at the end of the innings.
He had lan Smith and Danny
Morrision caught at the wicket.

New Zealand's batting, with

the exception of Crowe and
Great batch, is ill-equipped to
fare the pace and penetration of
men like Wasim Akram and
Waqar Younis. who have so far
bawled splendidly in the series.

Pakistan, as in the first Test,
started well, with the opening
pair putting on 43 effortless
runs. There promises to be
plenty more in store with the
batt ing line-up to follow.

A better batting side could
have enjoyed itself on a pitch
which offered little assistance
when New Zealand won the
toss. Instead, the wickets of
David White. Mark Grcatbatch
and Trevor Franklin fell jbefore
lunch.

White, the first man out, was
not convinced that Saleem
Yousuf, the wicketkeeper, had
taken a fair catch. White dearly
thought he had edged the ball
into the ground before it flew
through to Yousuf.

Grcatbatch was yorked by
Waqar Younis and Franklin was
taken at first slip, as he slashed
at Saleem Jaffer.

New Zealand lost another
three wickets as they added 70
runs between lunch and tea.

Crowe was caught at second slip
by Salim Malik off Aaqib Javed,
after sharing a 40-run stand with
Rutherford, who was Icg-beFore
to Wasim Akram for 23.

Dipak Patel batted for nearly
an hour before Waqar Younis
unleashed an inswinger to end
the defiance. The bowler waved
Pbtel towards the pavilion in
elation, dearly in retaliation to
the dissent shown by Patel when
he was given out leg-before in
the first TesL

From 122 for six at tea. New
Zealand lost their last four
wickets for 38 runs in 50
minutes.

Australians revive
bitter memories

Senna is poised to

Third placing
clinches the
title for Sainz

put seal on title

By a Correspondent

By Keith Mackjlin

By John Bllinsden

THE nightmare that strikes
every four years has returned to
haunt British rugby league. As if
1982 and 1986 were not hair-
raising enough, the signs are that
the 1990 tour will be just as
demoralising.

The Australians are already a
third of the way through their
tour and the debris of St Helens,
Wakefield Trinity, Wigan and
Cumbria lie behind them. Each
of them has torn into the
Kangeroos for a brief and
flattering spell. The Australians
absorbed the pressure, punc¬
tured it, and swept back irresist¬
ibly with swift handling, fault¬
less backing up and typically
precise finishing.

They average more than 36
points a match, and apart from a
torrid 20 minutes against Wigan
and a brief flurry from Wake¬
field, have not been seriously
extended. -

Salt is being nibbed into
British wounds by the second
string, the midweek side, which
seems as indestructible as the
international .squad. It is un¬
nerving for the British game,
which by common consent has
improved in every facet during
the past three years. The most
worried men are, inevitably,
Malcolm Reilly., the Great

Britain coach, and Maurice
Lindsay, the team manager.

They had felt encouraged by
the victory over Australia at
Sydney in 1988, followed by the
series wins over New Zealand.
Further optimism had been
engendered by the feet that the
Australians had come to Eng¬
land without their charismatic
half backs, Lewis and Sterling,
but neither has been missed.

Laager, Stuart Alexander and
Hosier are aU capable of working
in the scrums at international
level, and while Daley and
Kevin Walters may not be
towering figures like Lewis, they
are effective links in tire Austra¬
lian chain.

The acute shortage of experi¬
enced players in .tire British
training squad was cruelly
emphasised yesterday. Joe
Lydon announced that be will
postpone an urgent cartilage

operation to try to get back into
contention for the first British
Coal international at Wembley a
week tomorrow while Mike
Gregory wijl try out his. injured
hand against Australia at
Warrington on Wednesday in
an attempt to get a place on the
substitutes’ bench for the second
international match.

BY THE end of the Japanese
Grand Prix on Sunday after¬
noon wc will know whether
Ayrton Senna has become the
FI A Formula One world cham¬
pion for the second time, or
whether Alain Pro si. who
snatched the title from under his
nose there Iasi year, is still
hanging on with the hope of
doing so again.

A lot has happened since the
resolution of the championship
battle in Japan exactly a year
ago. Thai contest was settled
when Senna's bold overtaking
move into firsL place was.
blocked by ProsL the two tan¬
gled, and Senna, who was
pushed into an escape road,
rejoined the race and was sub¬
sequently disqualified, even
though he finished first.

The FIA used the resulting
appeals procedure to ”ihrow the
book” at Senna for dangerous
driving, sparking off a winter of
discontent with the governing
body and the McLaren team
playing the main roles, until a
sort of peace was declared before
the start of the season.

Senna's relationship with
Frost hit a new low during this
period, but they have since
shaken hands, and it is to be
hoped that their recently-voiced

deep mutual respect will prevail
on the race track this weekend,
and at Adelaide in two weeks'
time, when once again the
Australian Grand Prix will bring
the 16-race season to a dose.

A month ago. Senna seemed
to be heading serenely towards
the championships but all that
changed during the Spanish
Grand Prix when he poked up a
piece of wreckage from a
crashed car, punctured a radi¬
ator and bad to retire, while
Prost went on to win the race.

The complicated points sys¬
tem, which allows a driver to
count only bis II best scores,
means that Senna’s advantage
over Prost (78 points to 69)
makes his lead far from secure.

Because he has to drop his
lowest race score (four points),
he can only add to his total score
by finishing first or second.
Prost’s lowest score, however, is
two points, which means that
fourth place or better on Sunday
will increase his total;

The title will be Senna's,
though, ifhewins on Sunday, or
finishes second but ahead of
Prost. The Brazilian will also be
champion should both of them
tail to score, but this would be
almost as unsatisfactory an end¬
ing as Last year’s.

CARLOS Sainz, of Spain, is the
new world champion. He se¬
cured the title for the first lime
by finishing third in his Toyota
Celica In the San Remo rally,
which finished yesterday in
northern Italy.

Lancia won the San Remo
event for the sixteenth time with
the Frenchman. Didier Aurioi;
beating his team colleague. Juha
Kankkunen, of Finland, by 4S
seconds.

Two of the four works Ford
Sierra entries finished the five-
day event. Pentti Airikkala was
eleventh and Gwyndaff Evans,
of Wales; runner-up in the class
for cars in showroom specifica¬
tion and twelfth overall.

In the Ladies' Cup champ¬
ionship, Louise An ken-Walker
gained nine points by finishing
eighteenth in her Vauxhall Astra.

GREAT Britain will fece their
sternest test of their New Zea¬
land tour so fer tomorrow when
they begin a round-robin tour¬
nament: against Australia, New
Zealand and Spain (Alix Ram¬
say writes). Although the event
is not an officially sanctioned'
competition, it _wfl]. provide
invaluable experience for the’
newcomers to the British side.

Australia, the Olympic cham¬
pions, are also taking the
opportunity to blood a few new-
caps, but - Dennis Hay, the
British coach, is expecting no
favours from them.

“They still have a full if
experienced players, espec ially *,
now that Debbie Sullivan, -

_:_

captain in Seoul, has. returned lo*
the. squad after missing the
Worid Cup,” he said.

The playing surfece of the new *
sports complex in Wellington •
could cause the teams a few'
problems. “The pitch is very-
fest," he said. “It has an*
exceptionally huh bounce for '
any lifted or badly-hit ball. That -
puts, a lot of pressure on tbe J
defence.”

Brnain’sonly doubt hangs'*

over the experienced Irish inter- '
national, Jackie Bums, who *
missed yesterday's training ses- J
sion suffering from a virus. Her •
place in the centre of defence is

Yorath admitted that

had he not chosen to omit the

Perhaps it was the at¬
mospheric Arms Park which
caused Wales to rediscover
their identity. It was the first
victory in the spiritual home
of rugby union by a Welsh
football team since the round
bail first rolled across the
hallowed turf in 1896. The
shared tenancy, resumed
against West Germany last
year after an absence of 79
years, is one that Yorath
would like to become
permanent.

While the four-man Uefa
delegation, which attended the
match on Wednesday, would
have felt obliged to concur
that ir was a marvellous
theatre for football, whatever
the rules, reservations were
expressed about its suitability
as a venue for foe final of foe
European Cup Winners' Cup,
at least for this season.

The Football Association of
Wales, which has applied to
stage either final, will reapply
next season if unsuccessful.
The alternative stadiums are
those ofFeyenoord, St Etienne

of the Uefa Cup tie with Inter
Milan next Wednesday.

Bill Fox, the League presi¬
dent, has conceded to Doug
Ellis, the Aston Villa chairman,
that a stipulation made eight
days ago was outside foe rules of
the competition.

Villa will now keep the entire
fee from rrv — in the region of
£225,000 plus any sales to
foreign networks — and not
meei the League’s demand for a
two-thirds share. Nine clubs
staging Barclays League
matches the same night will not
receive compensation.

“Bill Fox and I have shaken
hands on his agreement with me
that they have no grounds
within the rules of a Uefa
competition to claim anything.
It is our match and the TV rights
axe ours,” Ellis said.

That admission by Fox, an
adversary of Ellis's when the
League presidency was decided,
is an. embarrassment for the
management committee, which
passed foe resolution in the
Villa chairman’s absence.

“I do not regard this as a
victory for Aston Villa but as a
victory for common sense,"
Ellis said. The agreement ar¬
rived after a stormy conversa¬
tion between Fox and Ellis, who
was annoyed both- by the de¬
cision passed in his absence and
by the attempt 10 take a large
share of Villa's fee.

• Paul Goddard, who became
Mfowall's record signing when
he joined them from Derby
County for £800,000 Iasi
December, yesterday turned
down a move to Bournemouth
after the clubs agreed a £50.000
fee. because he wants first-
division football.

Harry Redknap. the Bourne¬
mouth manager, who returned
to work this week after being
injured in a car crash in Italy
during the World Cup finals,
will now try to sign Goddard,
aged 31, on loan.

Goddard has generated fees of
£2.4m in the past ten years in
moves from Queen's Park
Rangers to West Ham United,
to Newcastle United, and then
Derby and Mill wall.

• Mark Bright and John Salako
have signed four-year contracts
with Crystal Palace.

• Dave Bassett has told the
Wimbledon midfield player,
John Gannon, that he can leave
Bramall Lane.

Gannon, who joined Sheffield
United nearly two years ago, has
been unable to break into the
side this season, and Bassett said
he was making the player avail¬
able for transfer, although he
would be happy for him to stay.

• Mike Hooper, foe Liverpool
reserve goalkeeper, looks set to
remain on loan at Leicester City
for a further month, with Carl
Muggleton staying 8t Anfield in
an exchange arrangement.

The Leicester manager, David
Pleat, said: "There are one or
two details still 10 sort out but I
don’t see any real snags, and
hopefully everything should go
through."

Powerboat record-breaker on Windermere

GERRY CROWTHER

Bingham promises Confidence soars
to keep fighting among the Irish

By Ian Ross

By Peter Ball

IN THE aftermath of a pexfor-
mnee which did much to re¬
establish a bond of loyalty
Between the players of Northern
Ireland and their increasingly
impatient supporters, Billy
Bingham, the team manager,
itrugglcd between misplaced op¬
timism and harsh reality.

Wednesday night's M draw
igainst Denmark in group four
>f the European championship
]ualdying programme left Bmg-
jam perplexed. He wished to be
u I so me in his praise of a
Jetemtincd display-, yet was
forced to acknowledge reluc¬
tantly that the result at Windsor
Park, when coupled with last
month's defeat by Yugoslavia at
he same venue, bad probably
aided Irish hopes of reaching
he championship’s final stages,
d Sweden in two yeare’ lime.

Having collected just one
joint from their opening two
tames. Northern Ireland must
row defeat the Faeroe Islands
twice and win at least one of
heir other remaining away
Hatches, in Denmark. Austria
jf Yugoslavia, 10 maintain arty
merest in one of the com¬
petition's most challenging
sections. . .

"I do not know whether or not
ve are still in with a shout, fait
ve shall keep fighting.'* Bins-
tam said. “It was a good result
br us, but I am realistic about
)ur position."

Bingham is also realistic
tbout his own position, as
manager, a post be took up in
I960 after a previous spell m
rharge between 1967 and 1971.

"Nothing has been d ecided
iboui what will happen when
ny present contract expires in

1992," he said. “It will depend
upon my own feelings and those
of the Irish Football Association
(IFA). 1 may go on for another,
extrayear.

“I would loye to leave a
decent team when 1 do go. We

have just had the best decade in
Northern Ireland footballing
history; it was a gokten period. It
would have been quite easy for
me to leave after the World Cup
final* in Mexico in 1986, bin I
felt that foe best thing ip do was
to stay and try to rebuild.

"We are one of the smallest
countries in Europe in terms of
population, so we do not have
man y players available to us.
Unlike countries like England,
we sometimes have to throw
peopfe in at ihe deep end. Some
come through, some fell by the
wayside.”

• Vauxhall, the car. manufac¬
turing group, is considering a
three-year sponsorship deal with
the IFA, believed to be worth in
excess of £100,000. An official
announcement is expected in a
fortnight's time.

• Andy Mutch, the Wolver¬
hampton Wanderers and Eng¬
land B forward, is to undergo
surgery on bis back today and
will be out for three months.
Mutch, aged 26, will have pan
of the disc removed from the
tower part of his bade in an
attempt to rectify the problem
that has troubled him since he
was injured during a match
agains t Plymouth Argyie last-
month. The dub’s other back
injury victim. Mark Venus, a
fiifl back, bas been pulled out of
training while the club seeks
more specialist advice.

EVEN poor sides have to be
beaten, and an international
team which scores five goals
without playing particularly well
for over half the match is to be
taken seriously. It was, there¬
fore. understandable that Jack
Chariton was bubbling with
confidence after the Republic of
Ireland's drubbing of Turkey,
especially given the stare of
disarray in his camp earlier in
the week.

The most com p rehensive vic¬
tory in Chariton's four and a
half years as manager extended
Ireland's unbeaten run in Dub¬
lin to 22 matches and gave the
side the early leadership in its
European championship
qualifying group seven by virtue
of a superior goal difference, a
potentially important factor in
iiselt

“I don’t think we’ll be 6-1
against qualifying much longer,
and if we are I might even have a
bet on myself," Chariton said,
predicting that Wednesday's re¬
sult would make England, the
next visitors, sit up and take
notice.

With Aldridge, whose strug¬
gles to score at international
level had become a source of

S ows humour, giving his con-
■nce a sizeable boost with
three goals, Sheridan stepping in
to demonstrate his quality, Ir¬
win supplying the Irish forwards
with foe high standard of crosses
which have become so im¬
portant to Manchester United,
and Hughton and Moran
suggesting that their mier-
oauonal careers are hoi yel over.
Ireland came out of the match in
considerable credit after losing
four key players.

But scorelines can sometimes
be misleading, and foe truth was
that as well as a cause for
celebration, the performance
also offered some cause for
concern, particularly at the back
where a side with rather mare
conviction than Turkey could
have punished Ireland
unmercifully.

The main problem is that
neither McCarthy or O’Leary
are in their club teams at the
moment, leaving foe oldest of
the trio. Kevin Moran, as the
only one who is playing first
team footbalL

O'Leary’s joy at scoring his
first goal in 54 internationals
was unconfined, but foe player's
position at Arsenal is not geared
to helping Ireland. O'Leary had
played only 30 minutes' football
in the month preceding
Wednesday's international.

"I haven't played a compet¬
itive match since the game
against Morocco apart from 30
minutes as a substitute against
Chester last week, I haven't
even had a reserve team game,"
O’Leary said. “I think I'm one
of those lucky players who is
naturally fit, but obviously I've
got to try and get some football
before the English march."

If Arsenal cannot accom¬
modate him, it would seem
churlish treatment for the club's
appearance record holder with
17 years' service to Arsenal
behind him. Chariton must be
hoping foal George Graham
relents and allows O'Leary to
move rather than holding him
to tiie last year of his contract if
be does not intend to play foe
player himself.

NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL by WALTER GaMMIE

j»i»4 defender.

“ITS taken 33 years to get back
on top- It’s quite a feat,” Phil
Ledger, foe Woking secretary,
said, surveying foe Vauxhall
League premier division table
which the Surrey club'tops after
wins over their fellow contend-
»era. Aylesbury and Dagenham.

- Ledger knows the value of the
achievement. He'was in goal
when Woking, topped the isth¬
mian League in 1955. although
hefaad moved on 10 Wimbledon
when they repeated foe feat in
1957. -

Ledger came back to the club:
So did the triumvirate in char^.
GeoffChappie,foe manager, isa
former player. Fred Callaghan,
foe coach, ami Colin Lippian,
foe chief scoot, were both
former managers. „

Such commitment has helped
drag Woking from the second
division, south back into foe
premier, division this.season.
-It's been a real team effort from
players, officials and support¬

ers." Ledger said. Woking are
confident that they can meet the
requirements of foe Conference
should their success continue.

When Chappie took over as

manager in 19S4, the attendance
ai the first match,.. against
Clapton, was S7; against Ayles¬
bury on'Saturday it was 1,548.
Similar progress has been made
among foe players, with Adie
Cowler blossoming as captain
and sweeper this season after a
long spell at the dub.

' Three-vear contracts tie Tim
BuzagIo,'ihe Vauxhall League's
leading goalscorer last season,
and Tim Read, the young
goalkeeper signed, from Wor¬
thing. to the dub. Brothers
Shane and Uoyd Wye, from
nearby Cbobham, have firmly
established themselves.

Aylesbury, who had-Graham
Reed sent off after eight minutes
in the 3-1 defeat at Woking on
Saturday, beat Kingstonian 3-0

on Tuesday to allow Woking to
stay top. Cliff Hercules, with his
twelfth league goal of foe season,
and Glenn Donegal, with two
goals, emphasised their threat in
attack. The jostlingat the top of
foe league promises to remain
intense.

Slough's first Conference
match with traditional rivals,
Wycombe, drew 3,394 people to
■ Wexham Park on Tuesday for a
3-3 draw. A fierce rivalry over
100 years has only reached
leagues in the past 15 years. The
biggest attendance at Wexham
Park, however, remains 6,000
for a Slough v Liverpool under
IS schoolboys match.

.Cheltenham yesterday de¬
cided to release Jim Barron,
appointed the first full-time
manager in the Conference two
years ago. Dave Lewis, his
assistant, will act as caretaker
manager while the club ad¬
vertises for a replacement

THE United States, as if by
divine right, took first place on
foe first day of the women’s
world amateur championship at
Russley yesterday. They had,
after all won this biennial
tournament for the Espirito
Santo trophy in 1988, as well as
on nine of the previous 12
occasions it had been held.

If variety is the spice of life, it
is not a philosophy which
appeals to Vicki Goetz and Pat
Hurst. United Slates amateur
champions in 1989 and 1990
respectively. With rounds of 74,
one over par, they established
the expected American lead by
two shots over, unexpectedly,
Denmark and Germany.

Great Britain and Ireland
could not profit from yet
another 74, from Julie Hafi, foe
British champion, and lie joint
fifth at seven over par. Both
Claire Hourihane and Vicki
Thomas took 79. With two
scores to count, they are five
strokes behind.

There was, however, some
vicarious cause for British plea¬
sure. Denmark, foe surprise of
foe tournament, with admit¬
tedly a long way to go. are
coached by a British strokeplay
champion of recent vintage in
Claire Waite.

Waite, a consultant to the
Danish Golf Federation in 1988,
was elevated to coach last year,
with this spectacular early effect.
PemiUe Carlson (74) and Jane
Kragh (76) were warm in their
praise of their new mentor.

Hall, going in first, gave
Britain and Ireland the start
they must have hoped for. Only
one player surpassed her 74, and
that by only one shot. Thus
sunlit Russley justified its reput¬
ation as a tough test, particularly
in yesterday’s brisk windshifts.

Trading good for evil here and
there. Hall got to the tum in
fevel par and went one under
with a superb bunker shot at foe
long 13th. It was level par again
when she read a non-existent
borrow at the short 15th. The
16th cruelly carried her over par
when a beautifully struck sec¬
ond kicked into a bunker and
this time she could not get up
and down from a difficult lie.

It would be kinder not to
dwell upon the fortunes of her
colleagues, except to say. in
Hourihane's case, that her iron
shots to the greens foiled her,
and to allow Thomas to say. in
her forthright way, that she bad
played “rubbish". Even so. it
was another unkind kick, into
the tall hedges lining the I8ih
fairway, which demanded a
penalty shot and denied her
team a share of fourth place
alongside New Zealand.

The individual leader is An¬
nette Jansen, at 21 a surprise
member of the German team.
She admits that she has won
nothing of note, except the
qualifying tournament in Beilin
which brought her to New
Zealand’s Garden City. At one
point she was two under par, but
foe par-four 14th was out of
range against foe wind and, with
foe wind behind her at the next,
her three iron was much too
much club.

ARTHUR Gold, ihe chair¬
man of ihe British Olympic
Association (BOA), said yes¬
terday that if there is to be
another bid to stage ihe
Games in this country, it
would have to be so powerful
that other cities would be
reluctant to oppose it

Gold said that when the
BOA meets, it will review the
bidding strategy for the
Games following the un¬
successful attempts by
Birmingham in 1986 and
Manchester last month.

He pointed out that the
decision on ihe venue by she
International Oympic Com¬
mittee (IOC) had "liule to do
with sport."

Mary Glen-Haig, who with
the Princess Royal, is one of
two iOC members in Britain,
said that she thought that both
bids had done a great deal for
Britain's reputation abroad.
“They were noL a disaster."
she said.

Sebastian Coe and the Cen¬
tral Council of Physical
Recreation (CCPR) which
represents the national
governing bodies has staned a
campaign to bring the Olym¬
pics to London.

Gold yesterday officially
opened the British Inter¬
national Sports Bureau at the
Sports Council's office in
Euston. This will provide a
comprehensive range of facil¬
ities and services for British
international delegates and
will attempt to strengthen
Britain's influence in inter¬
national federations.

Kicking up the dust in a World Series of continued upset

By Stuart Jones

FOOTBALL CORRESPONDENT

GRAHAM Taylor preferred
yesterday to sidestep the criti¬
cism of his one controversial
selection, that of Steve Bull in
the forward line, of the Eng¬
land team that beat Poland 2-
0, and to examine instead the
defensive deficiencies. The
England manager said that he
was so disenchanted, that
halfway through the European
championship qualifying tie
against Poland, he considered
changing his sweeper system.

He was reluctant during the
interval to harangue his play¬
ers in only his second inter¬
national. but he “let them
know that they were not doing
quite what we wanted them
to". Before he could judge
their response. Gary Lineker
was injured and any thoughts
of rearrangements had to be
dismissed.

He noticed during the
match against Hungary last
month that his side was
stretched over some 70 yards.
He wanted the players to
move up and down the pitch
as a compact uniu measuring
□o more than 40 yards, but the
instructions were evidently
not fully heeded. “There was
not much improvement," he
said.

Although Taylor did not
name the culprits, the blame
lies with Paul Parker. Des

Walker and Mark WrighL
Instead of pushing forward in
support of Paul Gascoigne and
David PlalL who were out¬
numbered in midfield, they
stayed back and gave them¬
selves little choice but to
distribute long and invariably
wayward passes.

“1 wanted them to step up
and give our attackers as
much opportunity as possible
to display their abilities in the
opposition's half,” Taylor
said. “We've got so much pace
at the back that we can cover
breaks and not many inter¬
national sides look for the ball
over the top anyway "

Although the sweeper sys¬
tem is preferred by the players
and the benefits were vividly
illustrated during the World
Cup finals. Taylor indicated
that he is not necessarily
committed to retaining it. Vet
it would be inadvisable to
dispense with the ploy in the
next match, in Dublin on
November 14.

cultured performance against

FA hears League’s
case for one voice

By Dennis Signy

THE ten-man executive com¬
mittee of the FA will consider
proposals by the Football
League for a joint board of
management to oversee the
national game at its meeting
next month.

At its routine monthly
meeting held at the League’s
London offices yesterday, the
executive privately heard a
presentation entitled “One
Game, One Team, One Voice
— Managing Football's
Future." outlined by Arthur
Sandford. the League's chief
executive, and Trevor Phil¬
lips. the commercial director.

The League's proposals,
including a plan to try to bring
the 1998 World Cup to Eng¬
land. will be made public
today.

The FA executive agreed in
principal in May to a board of
managemcnL What has still to
be determined is the power the
board will have in relation to
the present committee and the
input of League repre¬
sentatives to present “one
voice." There is support for a
stronger body at the helm than

the present committee and the
feeling that the League has
much to offer, particularly on
the commercial side.

Many FA members feel,
though, that there is no need
for a shake-up: that football is
being run satisfactorily from
Lancaster Gate and that, per¬
haps, the League does not
have the wider interests of the
game at heart

The FA is to nominate
W'embley for one of next
season's European club finals.
The FA has also told Uefa
that the stadium will be
available this campaign
should cither of the chosen
venues encounter problems.

The European Union will
decide in November where
this season's European Cup
and Cup Winners’ Cup finals
will be. The National Sta¬
dium, Cardiff is among the
four contenders.

The FA has already started
the process of applying to host
the 1996 European champ¬
ionship finals as well os the
World Cup two years later.

Turkey on Wednesday after¬
noon. the Republic of Ireland
will almost certainly resort to
the long-ball tactic against
England. The tie promises to
resemble the ugly and un¬
distinguished aerial skirmish
which bemused viewers
world-wide at the beginning of
the World Cup.

It could be billed as a
typically domestic fixture be¬
tween Liverpool and Wimble¬
don (Taylor himself likened
the Republic to the inhab¬
itants of Plough Lane) and it is
as well to consider Kenny
Dalglish's strategy on such
occasions. He plays with three
central defenders and omits
his less robust individuals
such as Houghton and, signifi¬
cantly, Beardsley.

After his thrilling goal com¬
pleted the 2-0 victory over
Poland, it might have been
assumed that Beardsley had
done enough to regain his
place. But England will not
require so much subtlety next
month and Bull may not yet
be relegated to the substitutes*
bench, where apparently he
belongs.

Taylor recalls that Bobby
Charlton, Colin Bell, Mick
Chan non and Kevin Keegan,
among others, did not feel
comfortable in the national
side until they had featured in
a dozen games or so. Yet their
qualities were unmistakable
and were sure eventually to
blossom. Bull has not yet
produced convincing evi¬
dence that he will similarly
develop.

Nevertheless, Taylor de¬
flects even veiled misgivings
about Bull's limited ability.
When asked for instance,
whether he might on reflection
have selected a different
strike-force against the Poles,
he replied without hesitation:
"If we were playing the game
again tomorrow, I might not
siart with the same defence."

He may choose to make one
change. Assuming that Walker
will mark Aldridge in Dublin,
it would be ludicrously
optimistic to expect the
diminutive Parker to counter
the threat of either Quinn or
Cascarino in the air. Wright
and Parker may therefore
swap roles, or Adams or
Pallister could be brought in.

There is otherwise no urgent
need to alter the side which
will again be led by Lineker.

Taylor's first genuine
experiments are likely to lake
place against African oppo¬
nents. Before the game against
Cameroon at Wembley in
February, a B international
will probably be staged on
December 12. The hosts have
yet to be confirmed, but they
are expected to be cither
Algeria or Morocco.

Browne to
appear in
court today

By Richard Evans

A LAMBOURN trainer ques¬
tioned by police over the
doping of racehorses will
appear before Doncaster mag¬
istrates this morning. Dermot,
Browne, aged 28. was charged
with criminal offences last
night but it is understood they
do not relate to the doping of
horses.

The former National Hunt
amateur champion jockey was
arrested in Lam bourn on
Wednesday and taken to Don¬
caster police station where he
has been questioned by detec¬
tives.

The doping of Brave foot
and Norwich at Doncaster
and Flying Diva ai Yarmouth
are now being linked together
by South Yorkshire
detectives.

Zarei sets
pace to
tear up all
records

By Robert Howard

JAMES Zarei, aged 46, the
Iranian-born ultra-distance
runner living in London and
running for Britain, is on his
way to breaking British and
world records in the NALGO
six-day nice at the Gateshead
international stadium.

During the race, which
began last Saturday and will
finish at noon today, the
runners have circled the 400-
metre track day and night
aiming to cover the greatest
possible distance within six
days.

They have been free to stop
and eat or sleep whenever they
wish, but Zarei was off the
track for only 12 hours in the
first five days and plans to
continue running right |
through the last day. Averag¬
ing an astonishing 100 miles
per day, he completed 511.6
miles in five days, which was
enough to beat last year’s
winning distance of 510mile$,
set by David Cooper.

Although he has run multi-
day races all over the world,
Zarei is competing in bis first
six-day event and as he has
remorsely pounded his way
around the Gateshead track he
has out-distanced a field of
international runners drawn
from 11 different countries,
taking British records for four
and five days in the process.

He has also been covering a
greater distance each day and
the possibility that he will run
further on the sixth day than
be has on any of the other five
could put the worid record
within reach.

That is 635 miles set by
Yiannis Kouros. of Greece, in
New York in 1984. Since then
only two other runners, both
French, have passed the 600-
mile mark.

Zarei is also aiming to beat
the British record of 623.75
miles, set in a professional
race at Madison Square
Garden 102 years ago by
George LitlJewood.

In the late 19th century six-
day races were popular attrac¬
tions. drawing crowds in their
thousands, but Littiewood set
his record as interest declined.
Between 1903 and 1983. the
sport died out. With the recent
revival, Kouros claimed the
worid record but until now
Littlewood's British record
had withstood the test of time.

Atkins calls for transfer levy

ROBERT Atkins, the Min¬
ister for Sport, yesterday said
that he would like to see a levy
on transfers in football to
increase the amount of money
needed to help build new
stands and stadiums.

Atkins said he did not
propose that there should be a
tax. imposed by the govern¬
ment, but that the football
authorities themselves should
institute a levy, which could
be used to carry out the
recommendations of the re¬
port by Lord Justice Taylor
into the Hillsborough disaster.

The Football Association
and Football League are
contemplating such a move
but know that many clubs sell
players to avoid making an
even more serious financial
loss than most of them already

Although the government

By John Goodbodv

has cut the tax on football
pools from 42.5 per cent to 40
per cent, so releasing £100
million over the next five
years for ground improve¬
ments, and the Football Trust
can give £70 million over the
same period, it is believed that
£300 million will be needed to
make first and second division
clubs all-seater by the year
1995.

Atkins, who was speaking at
a sports writers' lunch spon¬
sored by Evian, stressed that
English football dubs were on
trial in the European com¬
petitions after the five-year
ban following the Heysd sta¬
dium disaster. “There win
always be those quick to shout
that our return was premature,
if anything goes wrong. How¬
ever, so far so good," he said.

Atkins added that he was
particularly concerned at the

improvements, in standards
on and off the field.

Although he applauded tire
award of the.fair play trophy
to the England team in the
World Cup, hie lamented the
statistics from the Lancashire
FA, which recorded 3,000

8,000 bookings .last season.

Middlemen move in on the amateurism debate

THE executive committee of Lhe
Rugby Football Union (RFU)
meets today, one of its prime
functions being to discuss the
implications of the International
Rugby Football Board (IRFB) de¬
cisions last Friday regarding
amateurism. Since that meeting the
RFU has been, for it, re markab ly
tight-lipped, which only reflects the
difficulty of the problem feeing it
_ The IRFB decided that commu¬
nication for reward could be permit¬
ted, but left the breadth of
interpretation open to member
unions. The most important em¬
bargo was upon players advertising
or endorsing rugby products, so that
they could not be seen to be taking
money directly from the game; that
ruling could effectively expunge a
series of long-running advertise¬
ments in which international play¬
ers are seen modelling (if that is the
right word) shirts, or adorning

themselves with boots—even in the
England dressing room.

“The RFU is looking at the
implications of the IRFB regula¬
tion," was all that Michael Coley,
the REITs marketing manager,
would permit himself to say. “Pol¬
icy decisions to be taken following
the change have to be discussed.”

Bat the RFlTs primary worry is
that England players should not be
seen to be “disadvantaged" in
comparison with their overseas
counterparts, or it will nag the
players as a dog worries a bone.

The RFU is also in a difficult
position because, though its mem¬
bers played a leading role in the re¬
drafting of Regulation 4 in

Edinburgh, its representatives voted
(with Ireland, one of whose repre¬
sentatives, Sir Ewart Beil, chaired
that working party) against the new
proposal, a move which suggests
amendments took place with which
they were not in foil accord.

Any recommendation from the
executive committee win go before
the RFU general committee meet¬
ing on November 2, a month before
the new IRFB regulation comes into
force. In that time it is not only
rugby unions which will wish to
study the precise wording of the new
amateur Regulation 4 (which was
not made public by the IRFB in
Edinburgh last week).

The regulation will interest, too,
those who would act for the players,
the intermediaries, the agents for
whom relaxation of the laws has
opened new horizons. Most of those
wifi be from outside the game but,
in keeping with the times, rugby

union has fostered its own, too:
